    You're welcome. I wish the Papua Insects website had a Crambidae section! Posted one year ago

      Yep, would be justified judged by the amount of species. Posted one year ago

        Synclera sp., maybe even Synclera traducalis? It's weird how similar the pattern is, but the colors are different.

        Identified it as Variegated Pearl, then rolled it back, I'm in doubt lol. The photo you're linking to looks significantly different from the research grade photos of the same species. So the color difference is even larger than you suggested for those photos.
        
        Could still be the same species, but not sure.
        
        PS: I try to correct for it, but it's sometimes hard to produce accurate color. This is because the LepiLED, a flashlight and flash all light up the subject. Different light sources requiring different white balance corrections. Posted one year ago

        Agree...The genus seems good, but I am unsure of the species bc of the color differences. Posted one year ago
