Evergestis pallidata is a moth of the family Crambidae, described by Johann Siegfried Hufnagel in 1811. It occurs across Europe and the Palearctic and also in North America. The wingspan is 24 to 29 millimetres. The ground colour of the front wings is a shiny yellow, crossed by brown-red transverse lines, with stigmata and veins that form a mesh pattern, while the hind wings are dazzlingly white with some incomplete brown lines. Adults fly from June to September, depending on the location. The larvae feed on plants of the cabbage family, Brassicaceae, especially winter-cress, Barbarea vulgaris.
