Field Notes

Notes:

I found this in a very damp and dark environment, near a water mine. I had to use the camera flash to photograph it.

Pantherodes sp., Leopard Moth for sure. I would not dare to get down to species level from only this picture. There are possibly many wrongly IDed around. Until know nobody could tell me the differences between the several species. Data about geographical range seem also not being ver reliable. I would go with Pantherodes sp., which is commonly called Leopard Moth, not Tiger Moth.

Thank you, FaredinAliyevski! Obrigado, Sergio! A maioria dos invertebrados são complexos para uma identificação superficial, eu já notei isso!! Obrigado amigo. Eu vim parar aqui por uma indicação de um amigo lá da National Geographic, Your Shot, e já vi que cheguei pra ficar! Coleciono amizades brasileiras por lá e pelo visto aqui terei o mesmo. Ótimo! Mais uma vez muito obrigado pela força nos IDs até agora e pela agradável recepção.

Leonardo, existem várias espécies de Pantherodes e, novamente, é difícil dizer qual é esta sem uma análise mais detalhada. Por falar nisso, bem vindo ao Project Noah. Sempre é bom ter mais brasileiros aqui. Espero que você se divirta.
