Somatina vestalis
Small 2 cm wing tip to tip, and beautiful, please help with an ID
Hi, I agree that this is S. vestalis, From what I can find out this is the only South African species to have a heavily marked hindwing as well as forewing with the fascia extending almost all the way across the wing.
Geometridae, Sterrhinae, Somatina sp., looks like Somatina vestalis. But I was surprised how many other species are around! So, please, verify yourself and if Roy would not confirm the species I would go with Somatina sp.
