Benigno, A female Eudocima species. Although, I have 2,000+ specimens of Eudocima from the Philippines, I don't have anything that has this unique coloration. It would be nice to have this species to look at more carefully in hand. Sorry, cant be more specific based on this photo. I am preparing to publish a world revision of the moths of the genus Eudocima. I would like some information about this species. Please E-mail me at [email protected] Thanks in advance.
