Utetheisa pulchella Crimson-speckled footman
Crimson-speckled Footman Utetheisa pulchella is a day-flying moth. It is therefore said to be diurnal. Here is the link to the LepiMAP record which contains the photograph above of the Crimson-speckled Footman.

Good day
If you have a look at LepiMAP # 615421 recorded 12 Feb 2017, which I think is a Crimson-speckled footman, the record has not as yet been identified by the panel. If it is a footman it may help a wee bit to the distribution map of the species.
Kind regards
Rob
Hi Rob, thank you, will take a look 🙂
