Field Notes from Isla Colon [needs to be edited] :
This moth, and the others like it pictured here, present a challenge in terms of identification.The best match o the Barcode of Life site (see below) appears to be either O. atopochlora or species "2YB," for which there is only one record, from Panama..Any help would be greatly appreciated!

To help with identification, email me at identification@panamainsects.org. Please include specimen locator number.
