Amata sp.
urban garden
Our wing and abdomen patterns are the same Noel. What differs is that mine has solid black thorax while yours has 2 stripes. And the plot thickens...
Bayucca, how about my spotting at http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/148.... Is this Nigriceps? I had doubts upon reading your comments so I just indicated the "family" under notes. Thanks!
@ Leana: That's great news!
@Bayucca: That's part of the beauty of PN ---" Crowd Learning " at its best :-)
No reason for apologize. You should know in the meanwhile that I am sometimes a little bit "fussy" about IDs. But looking at all the wrong Amatas on the web, I think it is also a chance for us to solve this issue. And PN is best platform for doing that! Sorry that I am not much of a help until know but telling you it is not Nigriceps.
Bayucca is right Noel... Sorry for the wrong ID. Agnes and I are discussing about this a while ago :)
This is not Amata nigriceps. Spots are different, also the colors of the head. Here is a trusted picture of Amata nigriceps:
