5622 – Galleria mellonella – Greater Wax Moth came to my mind?

Greater wax moth
Thanks for the suggestion. On looking at MPG images of genitalia for 5622 and 5629, it seems that this specimen fits well with 5629, the Aphomia sociella.

Well, I was just guessing. I am not familiar with that species so it did not come to mind but when you suggested it I can see the resemblance. It looks like there are some other dissections available. If you are not confident, why don't you post it to Genus.

If you are sure, please move it OR move it tentatively.
