Abagrotis anchocelioides, commonly known as the blueberry budworm moth, is a species of moth in the family Noctuidae. It is found in North America from southern Quebec to North Carolina, west to southern Manitoba, North Dakota and Missouri.[1]

The wingspan is 32–38 mm.[2] Adults are on wing from June to September.

The larvae are thought to feed on fruit buds of blueberry, although other sources list the food plants as unknown.
