      Opisthoxia phrynearia is the closest match I can find. Posted one year ago

        Hmm, yeah but unless it's subspecific variation, it still doesn't seem to quite match the few photos online.. Posted one year ago

            Opisthoxia formosante is similar, but not quite exact.

              Super close. The only thing I'm in doubt about is the orange border at the bottom of the wings. Posted one year ago

                Agree. I have no idea if it's due to individual variation or if this is an underreported species. Posted one year ago
