Pseudatteria volcanica
Small and fast. Zebra like marks and bright orange, flies like a butterfly
Thank you Harsha Singh, I am really hoping to see that one and to get good pictures, they are small and fast, when I saw it the first time it was so fast I could not tell it had black marking!!
Lovely moth. See this one too. Very pretty. http://rhamphotheca.tumblr.com/post/1747...
I went back to my pictures and I found the one with orange in the head but the pictures are not so good, also I found this Moth both times in the day time.
Thank you bayucca.
I could not find one that like my picture has black and white by the head, all of them have orange, would that make a difference in species/names?
Pseudatteria volcanica, but not 100% sure, it is the one of the most common ones in Costa Rica.
Muchas gracias harsuame, no puedo Identificarla tal vez despues alguien la conosca y me ayude.
Thank you J, I will leave the name only and wait to see if I can get more detail ID later.
It is definitely still a leaf roller moth. Though I think it is another species. There are about 14 or 15 species of Pseudatteria, though there isn't a valid internet reference for them.
Yes, I see it, that makes it be another species? Does it mean that I have the name wrong also? ID'ing is not easy for sure!! : (
I'd just like to add my input. Definitely Pseudatteria sp., though I don't think it is P. cladodes. Notice on yours how the thorax is white with black dots. On P. cladodes, the thorax is orange with black dots.
