Ermine Moth

Description:

This little moth is similar at first glance to the previous Ermine Moth (https://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/19...) in that it is also white with black lines and about 1 cm in length. However, this one has the anterior lines interrupted and lacks the large orange spots. Instead, it has a thin orange band at the tip of the wings with some black spots above the orange. The wings are curled and it looks like a species of the Yponomeutidae.

Habitat:

Came to a Black light, Km 15 on the highway between San Cristobal de Las Casas and Tuxtla Gutierrez, on a cliff overlooking the Grijalva River valley, Chiapas, Mexico.
