Rare Find - _TNY_0183

On a visit to the Haga Ocean butterfly house this week, I came across this African peach moth (Egybolis vaillantina) chilling on a leaf.

 

It is a diurnal species and looked rather striking there wearing hot orange legwarmers and all.

 

This is the first time I've seen it - and the first time I've see any moth belonging to Erebidae there.
