We always confuse
the Blackberry Looper, Chlorochlamys, Wagner pg 197, with the Pistachio Emerald, Hethemia pistasciaria, Wagner pg 201. Check them out and see what you think, or wait for Hannah to chime in. We're putting our money on the Blackberry.

I'll second that
- I wish Wagner's image of the Pistachio Emerald was bigger, but I think this one shows the proportionately smaller horns of the Blackberry Looper.
