Oraesia emarginata CALPINAE EREBIDAE
Was :- Oraesia emarginata CATOCALINAE NOCTUIDAEThis is yet another Fruit Piercing Moth.
A very pretty moth and most of the photos of it on the internet do not do it justice.
The larval food plants include Cissampelos species (MENISPERMACEAE), and in our case it is most likely to have been Legnephora moorei (Family: MENISPERMACEAE ) known as Round Leaf Vine.
