variation?
how much variation is there between moths of the same species? i was skeptical about s. limboundata because the body shape seemed different from other images (this moth has a fairly straight body whereas others seem to have a sort of "V" shape where the top section comes to a point, if that makes sense). is it common for moths of the same species to have differences in shapes and markings?
