Egyptian Noctuid

thanks Bernadette S :)

amazing! btw thanks for following me :)

Congrats on the blog feature Bernadette..!

This is so so great!

Congratulations Bernadette, your lovely moth is featured in the Project Noah blog today - http://blog.projectnoah.org/

A handsome moth. I can see where the idea of a pyramid came from =)

I checked the links again. O. tirhaca is definitely it in my eyes! :)

No problem! I was having trouble distinguishing O. tirhaca and O. legendrei, though I came to the conclusion of O. tirhaca because it, as in your spotting has a small black dot on the inside of the forewing. This mark is absent in O. legendrei. Here are the links if you would like to see for yourself. O. tirhaca http://africanmoths.com/pages/NOCTUIIDAE/CATACALINAE/ophiusa%20tirhaca.htm O. legendrei http://africanmoths.com/pages/NOCTUIIDAE/CATACALINAE/ophiusa%20legendrei.htm And if you are ever unsure of my suggestion, you can always keep it a genus, Ophiusa sp., per say. You are very, very welcome, and I am glad to put a name to this beautiful moth. It's common name is actually Green Drab, which I think is highly offensive to the moth, so I have suggested the common name as Egyptian Noctuid. You can change it to whatever you want if you'd like! Enjoy! You have an amazing collection!

Looks great!
