ID?

How did you arrive at this ID? It looks to me pretty much like the images of Trichodezia in this guide see Trichodezia

Thanks, Beatriz, When I look

Thanks, Beatriz,
When I looked at photos of the two moths before, it looked like the forewing marking was like that of P. epimenis. However, after looking at the photos which you linked to, I see that they are the same. I've just moved the photo over to the Trichodezia section. Thanks again, bev

We all make mistakes, it help

We all make mistakes, it helps to be extra cautious. Have you read the discussion on ID's?. It is helpful.
