    Default Can anyone ID this moth cat?

    Moth cats are often far more colourful than their Butt cousins. This particularly one caught my eye. However, from past experience, the adult moths do not live up to the cats extravagant costume.

    one of the many Nygmiini species in Lymantriidae ("Euproctis" in the Hampsonian sense, now split into many genera, the more likely candidates being Arna, Somena and Orvasca).

    cheers,
