It has a strong resemblance to Anavitrinella pampinaria. But, Iridopsis sp. is also super similar. Posted 4 years ago

  Agree, in particular Iridopsis defectaria seem near identical to your suggestion. Tough one! Posted 4 years ago

    Yep, Iridopsis defectaria looks so close! There are some sightings of the species in Colombia, so perhaps it is that species? Posted 4 years ago

      Thank you both again. I have photographed so many species that supposedly were not reported from Colombia that I don't count on that as a criteria. Posted 4 years ago

      They both seem to have reports from Colombia. I'm staying neutral on this one. Posted 4 years ago

        I'm seeing four reports from Colombia on iNaturalist one of which looks pretty much identical. Posted 4 years ago

        Would agree with you that this makes it the more likely choice, I just don't know how to conclusively distinguish between the two candidates. Posted 4 years ago
