Maybe Parasa sp. or Euclea sp. Or, Family Noliidae, like Pseudoips sp. Posted 6 years ago

  Thanks! Pseudoips sp. looks mostly European based on observations, Parasa and Euclea do look close, with Parasa having a few observations from Colombia, but without species level. Posted 6 years ago

    This is an interesting one. The wing shape resembles Pseudoips sp. But, the colors look more like Parasa or Euclea sp. The fuzzy thorax fits with all three genera. But the legs - Euclea and Parasa moths have very fuzzy legs. Pseudoips sp. does not. You moth looks like it has very fuzzy femurs and tibia, but not the tarsi. Maybe there is another similar genus??

      Oh, and the antennae on your moth doesn't fit with Pseudoips sp. Posted 6 years ago
