        I can't seem to find a match for the abdomen though. Some photos of Caeneressa diaphana are close. Maybe the pattern varies between individuals or sexes. Or, maybe this species just isn't documented online yet... Posted 6 years ago

          I am surprised some expert hasn't taken on this style of moth as a special study.

          For my next project (beg for help) I will be posting cosmophasis spiders, same problem :)           Posted 6 years ago

            Agreed - I was surprised to not find a side by side comparison of all these similar species online. It would be a great project for some mothologist. Posted 6 years ago
