Brown-striped Semilooper

Erebidae; Erebinae; Euclidiini; Mocis undata (Fabricius, 1775). This Mocis undata is a female. It was hiding deep down in the undergrowth of wild grasses and foliage. No matter which angle of view I tried, there always seemed to be some grasses in the way. Of course, when taking pictures, in this dense environment, it would be unwise to try and move even a single blade of grass out of the way. The slightest rustle of grass or leaves will cause the moth to dart away. So, I always take the view that a poor picture is better than no picture and I just try to get some shots before everything goes wrong.
