        Looks correct! I was looking at Amastus sp., but no matches there it seems. Posted 6 years ago

          That was the genus that I initially assumed as well. But, couldn't find a match. Posted 6 years ago

            I rechecked it and found this:

            It seems to match marks and patterns exactly, as well as distribution. It just has this weird blue glow on the blacks. I'm thinking that's just the photo, which overall has a strange exposure. Normal exposure:

              Haha, I didn't see your comment before, but was just coming to say that I found a very similar moth:

              Looks like we are in agreement ;)               Posted 6 years ago, modified 6 years ago
