it's easier search id in morning then at night :)
Jopy
haha it is another genus, this one lives in denmark :) http://www.naturephoto-cz.com/idaea-aversata-photo_lat-12199.html
FaredinAliyevski
Oh no another genus, it's fun but it's also not good to get stucked on one spotting :).
Jopy
haha will not skip it, this is very funny for me and motivate me to search more :D before logging on PN i did do the same thing with my plants photos...i will search tomorrow again, maybe there's more similar genus...if not, must be one of these two species :)
FaredinAliyevski
Hahaha, no no skip it...it must be that species. Can't be another one, I hope :)
Jopy
now, I have to search again :( will find it in morning...
FaredinAliyevski
Yes but still doesn't fit 100%, will check a bit more tomorrow...now is getting to late to see tinny details :)
Jopy
i think you are right, because S. ternata has darker stripes and it's more yellowish, also some of them has dots, some not...
FaredinAliyevski
I think it's Scopula ternata, the one u just said has 2 dots and mine doesn't have it. Please tell me what you think about Scopula ternata?
Jopy
Scopula floslactata
Jopy
ok, I saw few very similar, didn't check for denmark, but it would be easy to find right one...
FaredinAliyevski
Ups, this species does not exist in Denmark but there are only 12 species of this genus I should check and i may find the right one :)
Jopy
yes, yesterday and one hour of this day :D you're welcome :)
Jopy
:D wow, yeeeeesss! needed only two days to find id...
Jopy
is it this one http://lepidoptera.pro/taxonomy/5925
Jopy
hahahaha of course ;)
Jopy
ok, i saw the pictures of that two specie, shape and stripes fit but color not...maybe it's different genus...will research :)
FaredinAliyevski
It could be Cabera exanthemata, in Denmark we have 2 species this one and the one you suggested. But yours is called snow white and it doesn't seem to have yellow forms but the other one has some more yellow forms but still looks different.
Jopy
will search further, maybe there is some like this but yellow :)
FaredinAliyevski
Oh thanks, shape looks the same but the color in my is too yellow. I will check this species in the danish catalogue and see if it's yellow there.
Jopy
I found ID for this moth, but color doesn't feet, help! i read that can be white or pinkish http://ukmoths.org.uk/show.php?bf=1955
