Amata Wasp Moth

Amata sp.

Description:

Has yellow and black stripes along the abdomen, thorax is black with yellow markings and head is black, while wings are yellowish tinged. It is supposed to mimic a wasp or a bee with its wing and body pattern. It is day-flying and in my area, can be seen looking for a mate near vines. I do not know what their host plant is or what the caterpillars look like. These moths can be found flying in the afternoon and evening.

Habitat:

Ural areas, like subdivisions, light forestry, parks and gardens, and sometimes in cities during evening.

Notes:

Thanks to those three humble users who commented on my Hippotion hawk moth sighting! I feel more encouraged to post, also please expect me to not reply immediately. Also, please no bad comments against me! Im just a person having fun here on Project Noah. Also, thanks for reading!
