Yesterday
Megalorhipida leucodactyla has a spiralling dark line down the legs. Stangeia xerodes has straight line down legs, like above. This moth's abdomen is correct for S. xerodes. The images used as sample images currently are not all correct. This one should be used as a sample image as it shows the features well.
