I believe this is a "paintshop" alteration of this species, I don't find any similar species anywhere in the world.

Interesting that this moth is found only from India to Australia, and this spotter report it from Western Sahara, for me it seems like Agrioglypta deliciosa, please add the geographic spot where you found this species, because there is a disconnect between where you pinpoint on the map you found this specimen and where you write you found it. Just a note for the future. https://www.inaturalist.org/taxa/202604-...

I find these creatures so intriguing, great spotting!

Thank you herbst.theresa, I only hope you do the same with other spotters that have a hard time id'ing their spottings :) Yours was truly interesting, so I tend to use more time if I feel I'm on the right track, but as I wrote, I could be wrong about it.

I'm thinking it's an unknown species of Xenox, X. habrosus is the closest I come, but I can't find any photo that has the identical wing-pattern. Other genus' is not even close and Xenox has only 5 species identified, none which resembles your spotting.

You're welcome herbst.theresa, I didn't find any with a matching wing-pattern, it could be pattern-variation within the species, but unless you find a photo of X. habrosus with identical pattern as your spotting, it's most likely a different species. Might even be a different genus.

I think this is the Scarlet Macaw(Ara macao) https://www.inaturalist.org/taxa/19022-A...

I understand that it's from a wildlife rescue center, in that case the spotting could also be the Lesser Grison(Galictis cuja) https://www.inaturalist.org/taxa/41824-G...

These creatures always catch my attention, just watching them in their own mind, when they move around, analyzing their environment is mind-blowing.

Beautiful series SukanyaDatta, I tried to get photos of them from Sri Lanka, but they're very wary. Maybe next time :)
