Nice! Described in 1794. That caught my attention as it seems very early, usually old descriptions are predominantly from the 19th century. Posted 5 years ago

  I thought that was interesting too! This is my first time seeing this species. It is very similar to S. limboundata, but it has some distinctive markings!

    "Swag-lined Wave" is an impressive name for the 18th century. I imagine at that time you could name things anything you want as zoology was largely a clean sheet :) I, for one, would have started by just calling this one "moth". Posted 5 years ago
