User's notes
ALA distribution seems to suggest that it is Amata trigonophora, would the photo be sufficient to identify to species level, or is this genus not characterised well enough for a species identification?

I understand our current policy, due to taxonomic uncertainty, is not to attempt to identify Amata species to species level.
