  1. Ohhh, pretty! Posted one year ago
    1. Was there a taxon change? Or, should the genus be Spilosoma?

      1. Looks like a Wikipedia issue. When typing in the correct name, it redirects to this:
        https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spilarctia_dinawa

        ...which as per the synonym block is an old misspelling.

        Anyway, fixed now, thanks for flagging.
