Field Notes
Description:
Also known as wasp moths, C. teuthras is a beautiful species. It has clear wings as its name suggests with black and rusty-red veining. The thorax is also rusty-red with the abdomen being black with bright metallic blue spots running down each side. The antennae are long with feathering along the inner edge.
Habitat:
Found in a friends garden in the foot hills along with many other species.
Notes:
Having done some research into the whole Cosmosoma family, there are several species that look very similar but given this ones location and general identification characteristics I believe this is correct but if anyone has another idea, please share with me.
