The species is believed to use a similar pheromone to Euxoa churchillensis as males of E. churchillensis were observed being attracted to calling E. muldersi females, although no attempts at mating were observed.
Etymology
The species is named for Robert Mulders, a biologist at Arviat who collected the first specimen and brought it to the attention of Henry Hensel.
