  Looks like a good call. Ophisma basigutta seems to be nearly identicle though my example doesn't have the two tiny white dots near the head that other examples have. I think I have posted O. basigutta before. Posted 3 years ago, modified 3 years ago

    I agree -- Ophisma basigutta looks like a match except for those white dots. Maybe they rubbed off of this individual? Posted 3 years ago

      Actually, I think I can see a white dot on this moth (on the right). Perhaps the dots can be partly obscured on some individuals. Posted 3 years ago

        There are some here where the dots are hard to see:

Yes you are quite right, no doubt it is O. basigutta without the dots in evidence. Posted 3 years ago
