Copaxa mannana Female recently acquired :)

Beautiful. I'm sure you will be glad as I am when our state thaws out and the moth collecting can begin.

Where did you get it?

Very nice specimen, Bill.
When I post it to the Copaxa mannana page on WLSS, I notice some differences which could be within limits of natural variation, or could be just the angulation of the photo:
Your female has a slightly concave outer margin while o.m. of Kirby's female is straight. The pm line is less preapical in your image and the forewing am line shows little indentation at the cubitus. There are some other
less significant differences which I would normally attribute to variation within species. Maybe you have something not yet described, maybe it is as posted.

Thanks Shadow.....it is from Mexico, not Texas.

Bill.....maybe it's me, but it does not seem too much different from the one at your site. Certainly, it is similarly marked. I am inclined to think that any smaller differences are mere variations.

Bill,

Your moth is much more colorful than the others of that species I have seen. The ones I have seen are more uniformly tan, like A. polyphemus, with just a touch of pink and no yellow. Nice specimen!
