Now it is possible and probably deleted as well as http://lepidoptera.ru/gallery/33171

Sure :) No any removing.

Basically Alexandr says right. If possible I try to shot and add here specimens with features different from ones we've got here already. If the folks don't mind, let it stays here so far. Doesn't take long to remove.

Here's male: http://lepidoptera.pro/gallery/27329 which Irina IDed, no wings and abdomen seen though...
Meh..... would be great to spread it. Dreams, dreams........

I may be wrong, didn't check now but this species has gender dimorphism also in colour, males are yellow whilst females are pink, this is not a variation but a typical specimen. Yury seems to add intentionally pics with specific features different from ones in alive specimens for a more precise ID. I'm for keeping it here so far despite the specimen condition. Yet aesthetics part suffers a little. :)

Meh, eyes betrayed again: didn't see the position is same :)

07.09.2014 5:39, Vasiliy Feoktistov

Forgot to add: pic should be with same position as it's here. Not of first importance imho.

Petr, if the second pic shows clearly this yellow type with abdomen and hindwings, let's remove.
If not, please don't and wait for a better one. No hurry here, especially with this case.

Not a good pic, there's another from the same author, better angle, same location. To remove?

Here I also quit. The explanation below.

05.09.2014 15:19, Vasiliy Feoktistov Corrected data.

Not identified / Imago → Lymantria mathura / Confidently identified / Male / Vasiliy Feoktistov.

So what to do with this one? There are 4 species, Lymantria dispar and Lymantria monacha are most known :) Grisescens clearly doesn't pass... Finally got matura, typical thorax pattern, I gave the link over a month ago... Swore not to ID any from Far East, so that's the question :)

Also here's one yellow-abdomen http://www.jpmoth.org/Lymantriidae/Lymantria_mathura_aurora.html . Most likely to be some variation.

I see, Lymantria mathura male.
