Moth ID trend

Correction.

Post 24 no. 1 is Callopistria puchrilinea not C. rivularis.
https://inaturalist-open-data.s3.ama...8994/large.jpg
The upper two apical submarginals have level margins, only the white shadings make them look sharp.
The reniform is strongly whitened ,not seen in C. rivularis.



C. rivularis.
Note the apical submarginals are individual dentate.
The rerniform is uniformly whitish with thin margins.

Dear Doctor Seow,

The taxon didnt exist on inat so ill leave it as it is first. I hereby present a interesting observation of a Demonarosa
inat link - https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/143999353
https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/145269065

I found this mysterious caterpillar in the first inat link right beside a stream at mandai. Out of curiosity, it was raised, only to turn into a pupa in a few hours. It became the moth in the second inat link after a lengthy 2 weeks of waiting. if any ID can be narrowed down i would think this is a good blast for a year end, haha.

Skipping regards

Demonarosa mediodorsata.
IDed by the orange mid-dorsum parallel bands & the two red spots at FW tornus.

A continental species is similar but have several spots at the FW base.

The two species O. angulata & vita are confusingly similar & MoB's description of the antemedial appears to be imprecise.
However there are correct specimens lodged in at BOLD.
These can be compared with the fieldshots.

Odonestis angulata.
White discal spots & fasciae antemedial & postmedial well-defined.

BOLD specimens.

Odonestis vita.
White discal spot & fasciae poorly defined.

BOLD specimens.

Verdict: This shot should be Odonestis angulata.
