Fatimella Emesis
Emesis fatimella nobilata
10.46, -84.07
Field Notes
Description:
The distinctive wing pattern and shape of Emesis make them instantly recognisable as a genus, but some of the 41 species can be difficult to tell apart, requiring close examination of the markings.
Emesis fatimella is found from Mexico to Brazil and Peru.
Habitat:
This species occurs in primary and secondary forest, at altitudes between about 200-800m.
Notes:
The closest I could find was Emesis fatimella, Noble Emesis. The markings were similar but the colour in the picture I saw was orange instead of yellow.
