  Definitely looks like the right direction, yet so few photos of the genus available. Posted 6 years ago

    Also similar to Chloractis sp., such as Chloractis pulcherrima. But again, not quite. Posted 6 years ago

        I’m sure Henriette will be impressed that you’ve determined that this insect that landed on her is indeed a “moth”! Posted 6 years ago

  Nice! Genus definitely looks like a match. Which of those two would you consider most likely? Posted 6 years ago

  Thank you, I've now tentatively identified it as such. It achieves a nice milestone: 2,500 lepidoptera :)
