Moved
Moved from "Florida Io Moth" (A. io io var. lilith).

Best to place only at recognized species or subspecies and not geographic variations or forms.
Thanks!

Florida Io
Just wondering about the move. Is this something new?

Sorry for any confusion
You may encounter "ssp. lilith" in the literature and ome specialists & hobbyists still like to recognize these as a "distinct" geographic form; so I clustered them together for ease of comparison (Still "subspecies io").

Automeris io ssp. io "var. lilith"
