    1. Amazing, I had given up! How did you find it?
      Very happy with this, this photo seems the first of a healthy-looking wild individual.

      1. I searched through Noctuidae for Indonesia, West Papua, and PNG. I couldn't find an ID, though, so I expanded my search to include all lepidopteran photos in West Papua documented on iNat, lol. There were a lot of photos and I nearly gave up. I was shocked to finally find it! Posted one year ago
