Arctiidae:Ctenuchinae:Calonotos metallicus
Beautiful little moth, about 2.75cm. Metallic orange stripes and prominent white spots on an otherwise black moth.
This was in the forested mountains of central Panama.
.this individual was drawn to a lighted wall. In researching I found only one other photograph of a specimen from Panama - in a university archive. Seems to be a rare find.
