      Certainly is thank you Christine. I haven't found a match with the wing dots and dark markings on its back. Posted 5 years ago

        I have had the same issue -- trying to match the dark markings, white lines, and wing dots. I can't seem to find a species with all three matching your moth. Posted 5 years ago

        These 3 seem to have that combination:

        Only problem I see is that the outer edges in your cases are white, yet yellow in those species. I'm not sure if that's an important distinction or just a variation or difference in the sexes.         Posted 5 years ago

          Yay Ferdy!

          Nemoria saturiba looks really close -- the brownish line is so dark though, but Peter's moth could be faded. Nemoria karlae looks really close to me, maybe a match? The outer edge is darker and yellow, as you mentioned, but maybe that is an individual variation?           Posted 5 years ago

            Or maybe....see my other comment on the other photo, the white in this photo is too cool and in reality kind of yellow, which would match it? Just a theory. Posted 5 years ago

              That makes sense. Posted 5 years ago
