Colourful micro

 I caught this micro this time last year, couldn't identify it then forgot about it. Given its distinctiveness it should have been easy. No side photo unfortunately. All help appreciated.

  1. Hi Dave,
    Have a look at Eudemis profundana.

  2. Crikey. It's nothing like the illustration in the book. One of the photos on the website is similar though. Thanks, Dave.

    1. It is a very variable species, which doesn’t help when you are limited to just one or two images in a Field Guide. Sometimes it can be almost entirely black!
