Can someone please post the link to the photo of mposthumus's moth? The entry is complete, but all I get when I "quote" her entry with the pic is 20230328_170023.jpg and it doesn't show as the actual pic in my entry -O- . (Same problem, diff. day. Not sure what I'm missing - oh dear, I opened myself up there ;-) )

Now it just needs to be put in the AW Moth index - there is already another Dysgonia (diff. species) in the list, so should be easy to know where to enter it. \O

0/* Sis (Re: your questions about the moth entry on the other page)

Since mposthumus's pic only shows the upper wings, that's all we can compare to the AfroMoth website pics. I cut those pics down to just the upper wings below. I have no idea how much color variation exists in this species, but there certainly are obvious differences from these.

Here's the distribution data for D. prosperans from another website, showing it has only been collected in S. Africa and shows the 3 areas. (Tho' it looks like there might be a square on the tip of Madagascar as well)

Thank you for the very detailed explanation. We can only leave things like this and hope that it's right \O
