It looks like Bryolymnia viridata

I recently took this photo which was identified as Bryolymnia viridata:

Genus

Feralia looks closest to me but none of our images or of those on MPG match. Nice pic though. Are you shooting native or do you transfer to a controlled setting from the black light?

Feralia?

I just shot her where she landed on the sheet, with a Fuji S2 digital SLR using a macro lens and the built-in flash.

I think you can move

this one to F. jocosa. The PM line is a little broken up but only jocosa and comstocki seem to have the fully enclosed "eye." This doesn't have enough black for comstocki.

Correction

I asked Bob Patterson to review this image. Given that F. jocosa is not documented in the California Moth Specimens Database he recommends against the ID. The image doesn't match any of the documented species -- but no images of F. meadowsi are available on the web or in Bob's resources.

Hey!

That's the same camera setup I use! =)

I don't know what it is,

but it's beautiful! Great colors!
