Home loving moth

[Painted Jezebel]

Thanks Roger. Hey, I must be improving! I was right about the Footman moths, they belong to the Lithosiinae also!

I can see why you would only bring it down to the Genus level. Using Google, I think I have reduced the possibilites down to 9 species, but I can not find photos of those so I will have to leave it as Cyana sp.

Hi Les,

Whichever Cyana sp. this is it's a male - there is a clear costal fold on the forewing; this contains androconial scent scales. Females tend to have less spots and finer fasciae; many were thought to be different species once upon a (not so very) long time ago.

cheers,

Roger.
