Crambidae, Pyraustinae, Spilomelini, Palpita quadristigmalis. Quite common in the neotropics. Cydalima laticostalis is not a neotropical moth but one from India, Asia and Australia.

Hola Carolina, parece que en Pereira y en Salta tenemos las mismas polillas. Ayer pubiqué esta:http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/12481509 y me sugirieron la misma ID. Lindas verdad?
