@DianneClarke :Can you distinguish the larvae of the various Chlenias species? Did you mean auctaria? Although my understanding is that Chlenias adults are in disarray, and so we should lump all the larvae into 'Chlenias. (Genus) Immature' .

@donhe No I can't distinguish them - I went with the best match on LBH and thought the solid orange lines and the pale face matched auctaria but it was a guess. Will see if I can raise it.
