    Tough one! It looks very similar to this:

    But, I don't know if the genus ID on that iNat moth is accurate and can't find others in the Isanthrene genus that look similar. So, Cosmosoma might be correct.

    There's also the Mesothen genus:

    Definitely Euchromiina, at least. ;P     Posted 2 months ago

      I love them so much, I just wish they were better known and easier to ID! Posted 2 months ago
