Good shot. I'm amazed at how widespread the genus Utetheisa is.
Species are found in almost every corner of the planet and yet I struggle to see the differences.
I suppose this one is pulchella but it sure looks like our pullchelloides.. or even lotrix. Posted 8 months ago

Windshield of your car. What a find! So colorful. It reminds me of party time at Carnival. I like the composition with reflective mirror too. Spectacular and eye catching. Posted 8 months ago
