Hi Don, Just checked the original photos. There were several of these flying around. The second photo is of a different moth to photos 1 and 2. Is it a different species? It was in the same area.

I think it is also Asura Lydia, but I thought the policy was for Sightings on CNM to be each only one individual specimen,
with possibly multiple photos ? Maybe I am wrong ?
