      I think I also once photographed this one, not sure. Such a great moth, and weird that we can't find anything about it. Posted 4 years ago

        Agreed! I can't even find anything really similar to it. Yet, it apparently isn't rare. Posted 4 years ago

            Do you have any photo references? I can't find any and when I search for "Erupa" all I get in the results are links for 'alien life on the moon Europa' ;P. Posted 4 years ago

              Ha ha on the moon, well not quite yet. I came accross this:
              https://books.google.com.co/books?id=_ZAtDwAAQBAJ&pg=PA44&lpg=PA44&dq=Spargania+sp.+(Geometridae)&source=bl&ots=8vG4qFzF-6&sig=ACfU3U1mZeODypnoFvJ5_lDgaRZbF1JWGQ&hl=en&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjrgsyC9_boAhWkmuAKHUq4A58Q6AEwEHoECAoQKg#v=onepage&q=Spargania%20sp.%20(Geometridae)&f=false

                That book looks AMAZING! Unfortunately, I can only view up to page 45 in the preview, lol. But, if you think Erupa sp. looks like a match based on the reference, then you should go ahead and add it to the title of this moth. It'll come up in a Google search that way and maybe someone will recognize it and comment to add the species for you! Posted 4 years ago
