Description:

Other pattern is visible near the bottom edge of the wings and may show up in different circumstances or day-night. Upright stance. Spots on wings may indicate different species, genus is correct.

Notes:

file #black fringe moth similar to Osiriaca. These moths show different colours on different moths. I have another spotting of this that looks more like the reference somewhere in here http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/417... http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/192... http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/180...
