          That genus looks like a match. The coa species I'm in doubt of, it seems to fold its wings differently? Posted 6 years ago

            You're right about the wings - yours isn't holding them like a tent, which all the ones for A. coa seem to do. But, all the Acraga sp. seem to hold the wings like a tent. Why doesn't yours? Hmm. Posted 6 years ago

              Perhaps we're looking in the wrong genus after all, hmmmm. I'll come back to this one later. Posted 6 years ago

                Could be. Or else, this moth is an oddball. Posted 6 years ago
