Chrysocale regalis
Irridescent multi-coloured nocturnal moth
High altitude cloud forest. Podocarpus refuge located between Loja and Malacatos in southern Ecuador.
I apologize, I did a misspelling in the scientific name! It should be Chrysocale NOT Chrysocalis! Please, change, thanks!
Thank you for the ID - much appreciated - I will be putting many more on but have already identified them. :-)
Erebidae, Arctiinae, Arctiini, Chrysocale regalis.
