Spilonota ocellana/ laricana
Is this Spilonota ocellana/ laricana? Can it be determined further without it having it's bits checked? I've retained it so it's a possibility if need be.
Hi Mark, I can't tell which it is for sure from those in-pot pictures but you are correct in that it is one or the other. There are darker forms of ocellana but your specimen does seem to have a hint of laricana about it. I'd suggest getting it properly checked.
