Another Arta sp. impersonator! Maybe Parachma lequettealis again? Posted 5 years ago

  It looks similar, but what about the difference in the yellow edge? Posted 5 years ago

    I was unsure about that as well, but if you do a good image search, several come up with a yellow edge and are labeled as Parachma lequettealis. But, those IDs could also be wrong.
    
    For example:

      Aha, could be just the angle. Thanks! Posted 5 years ago
