Pandesma submurina
Pandesma submurina EREBINAE EREBIDAE
At first sight I dismissed this moth as another variation of the Achaea janata but the markings on the rear wing caught my attention.I found a reference on Bold Systems that the larval food is possibly in the FABACAE family. If that is the case, we have many plants in this family including Hardenbergia Sp, Crotalaria Sp, Jacksonia scoparia (Dog Wood tree), Hovea Sp and Castanospermum australe (Black Bean), among others.
Wingspan is about 50 mm.
Family:- EREBIDAE
