Pink Banded Cutworm Moth

Thanks J. I just replied at Oneng's spotting. :)

Agnes, I think this looks like Eublemma anachoresis more than E. dimidialis. E. anachoresis is also found in Australia, according to BOLDsystems, where organisms are genetically barcoded, making for accurate species IDs. While poor lab procedures can result in an incorrect ID, I don't think that has occurred here. If you look at E. anachoresis, you can see that the brown blends into the pink and starts at the bottom edge of the forewing, as in this species. E. dimidialis has pink surrounding the brown, making the brown in a crescent shape. I do not think it is E. dimidialis.

However, I could see E. accedens as being another possibility for the ID.

@Leana, pls see discussion about this moth in Oneng's spotting - http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/326.... It looks like this is similar Eublemma dimidialis species. Regards!!

Thanks Mayra!

Thank you J for the ID!

Awesome spot! It looks like the species is highly variable, tint wise:
