    Thx Cherhern, i agree it's closer to Dysphania, not glaucescens but militaris.
    These moths are hard to differentiate, will need confirmation from Roger.

    Looks good for Dysphania militaris. The antennae are the key pointer to differentiate between the zygaenid models and their mimics.

    cheers, Roger.
