Apantesis doris, the Doris tiger moth, is a species of moth in the family Erebidae. It was first described by Jean Baptiste Boisduval in 1869. It is found in North America from British Columbia, northern Idaho, Alberta and western Montana. In the east, it is found in the Atlantic Coast provinces and from Nova Scotia to northern Florida and west to central Texas. The habitat consists of open willow/sedge fens and probably other open wetlands in the boreal forest.

The length of the forewings is about 19 mm. Adults are on wing from June to August.[http://pnwmoths.biol.wwu.edu/browse/family-erebidae/subfamily-arctiinae/tribe-arctiini/grammia/grammia-doris/ Pacific Northwest Moths]

The larvae feed on various herbaceous plants, including Lactuca sativa and Taraxacum officinale.{{cite web |url=http://entomology.museums.ualberta.ca/searching_species_details.php?s=255 |title=Species Page - Grammia doris |website=Entomology Collection |publisher=University of Alberta E.H.
