    It might be a worn version of Chalcocelis albiguttatus or else something similar in the family Limacodidae.

      Chalcocelis albiguttatus looks solid to me, it has the distinctive dots and the other species in the genus seems more bound to China. Will go for it tentatively, thank you. Posted one year ago
