to Helene: I'm sorry, but you'll call the pyadennitsa mottled, or staphylinasia.

With pyadenitsa/mottled is a really difficult case. Mimicking species can sometimes be difficult to distinguish from the "original". By the way, the whiskers of this butterfly still somehow confuse me...
What Stafika didn't admit is a completely different story... I also caught a hare, just like you

, but I didn't look at the UV lamp enough, and

I never got up on my own monitor all day because of the computer, I drove the picture back and forth, so I got such an anecdote... Only when I went outside did I realize what was going on. A joke of course: I clearly know the insect, but I can't remember, and something immediately exotic got into my head...

But we forgot about venation.

Yeah. And here's mlin: I don't know where to get it now (that is, on the Internet, and not in the physical identifier that is at home).
If you can compare the venation of the little animal in the photo (it is clearly visible there) with the pyadenichny one, then do it, and? The venation of Agaristidae is probably unrealistic to find...
I looked at it again , and again I don't like it as a speck...

All the same, the veins themselves are somehow too clearly visible (the pollen is thick in the moth, the veins practically hide), and the cell of the hind wing is kind of" curly", with a wavy outer border - I think I've only seen this in mottled birds...
Although figs knows them, exotics: maybe in the oriental fauna and moth strange and unrecognizable?

1. If you look at a female brushtail, it's not a butterfly at all, but a cockroach of some kind. Anything can happen.
2. Have you ever visited a Japanese website? There is also a photo of the caterpillar Cystidia stratonice-a typical moth. However, you know the caterpillars of the" pyadennichny type " are found in scoops.
There are no similar mottled plants, and there are no agaristids. Who this butterfly imitates is a question.
3. An entire tribe, Cystidini
4, has been identified. There may also be a snag - as with Diloba coeruleocephala-some refer it to crested birds, others to scoops. As the Agaristidae are a separate family, the subfamily is scoop. Who and to whom this species belongs-also need to find out. Personally, I have absolutely no doubt that this is the aforementioned pyadennitsa. At least four sources refer to this species as a moth. And her veins are clearly visible due to significant scuffing. I have such a copy from Kaimanovka, fresh-with a black pattern.
5. to dispel doubts, you should contact Elena Antonova.
