Undet. Day-flying moth (Vietnam)
Posted: Sun Feb 11, 2024 10:01 pm
Recently spread this pair of lovely day-flying moths
which apparently mimic a papilio species. Really
good mimicry here.
I initially started with 6 papered specimens but, was
told ahead of time that this species often has wing-
marred individuals or those with wing damage not
always apparent with closed wings. This turned out
to be very true and after relaxing I was relegated
to only keeping these 2 for being the best of the lot.
Fortunately, a fine male + female.....
Anyone know the species ?
