Re: little moth ID

Hi Gen,

It looks like Pyrausta aurata, a Crambidae moth. It can be seperated from the similar Pyrausta purpuralis (a confusion species) by the more seperated yellow markings at the base of the forewings.

Do you have an image-editing application at all? If so, try 'Resizing' or 'Down-scaling' to about 800x600 and saving at about 80% quality. That will not only reduce the Kb, but also remove the need to 'Click again' to view full-size. I do.

Take care,

Jason
