Bayucca, No problem. Nuwan ID'd it first for me and then I confirmed the ID on the site you are referring to.

Sorry, Johan! I thought you were referring to my link from Italy...

Johan, your photos are beautiful, my spotting did not have those brite colours it was kaki and brown like a dead leaf, it was hanging upside down on the shade cloth

Italy? Not sure I understand. Me and Altha is about 300 km's apart in South Africa which is where I made my spotting!

Johan, I know Italy is a little bit far away, but to my knowledge this one is also found in RSA.

Noctuidae, Euteliinae, Eutelia sp. and most probably Eutelia adulatrix, despite the a little bit bright picture. Please, verify!
