Same. Same. But Different. Nolid Moths (Nolidae, Chloephorinae) https://flickr/photos/itchydogimages/15547534706 Puer, Yunnan, China (September 20, 2014) daytime spotting Despite being a very common moth for a large part of the year, this species remains unidentified. Every second leaf has at least one on its underside (they regularly occur in groups). I have never encountered one at the night light, always during the day. There are two distinct types with subtle variations in the white markings on the wings and although I have seen these two variants occur together in the same location, this is the first time I have been able to photograph them side-by-side. I am unsure if these are separate species or gender dimorphism but they do occur as mixed populations i.e. one or more of each type will keep company with the other as seen here.
