Wildlife Spotting

Please, update, thanks!

:-)... I am happy to know now how to spell Looper ;-)...

..Inspector Colombio bayucca :-)

Great detective work bayucca !! Fascinating reading. I don't feel so bad about not finding it within a few seconds. What a cool find. I'll just be happy I've learned to spell Arctiinae. :-)

Erebidae, Arctiinae, Arctiini, Ctenuchiina, Chrysocale sp. and most probably Chrysocale ignita. You have the second wild one on the web! Congrats! There is no info and no other picture, beside Dan's, around. I had to put together the little puzzle pieces from some historic reports and drawings. Please, read all comments in Dan's spotting, there is the whole complicated and exciting story of finding a "lost" ID...
