Moths.

Post by Conchiolin »

Hi i found 3 types of moths yesterday:

One of them i think is the aporodes floralis but i'm not sure about it. I also found what really looks like a Helula undalis but again i'm not sure.
I looked those on both books to find nothing.

Here are the pictures:

This photo stinks a bit. It's very difficult to take a close-up of this one.

Hi Conchiolin,

The image HPIM3963.JPG is a Tyta luctuosa a very common moth during spring and autummn. You have accurately identified the H. undalis, not a common moth I can say.

As usual thanks Mr.jon. The H.undalis had quite an unusual coloration that's why i posted it for confirmation.
