        1. You're welcome! Posted 6 years ago
  2. I'd say Palpita vitrealis, also with worldwide distribution. What do you say Christine?

    1. Palpita vitrealis would make more sense, especially because of the distribution. I read that Diaphania costata had been found as close to Colombia as Mexico - but as an introduced, isolated population. Posted 6 years ago
      1. Corrected, thanks both! Posted 6 years ago
