Letis scops
large moth
reminds me of the moth we called the black witch that used to migrate into California from Mexico
Letis scops is very abundant and very variable! So I guess it is really all over the places in the whole neotropics.
on second thought - it was below 400 meters and was much darker than the picture in the link provided. Is there a dark morph and is it likely to go that much lower?
Thank you again. I knew it was a witch moth. Nice to know I haven't lost everything from my early childhood passion!
Too dark, but not too dark for me ;-)
Erebidae, Erebinae, Thermesiini, Letis scops.
Same tribe as Ascalapha odorata.
