Peridrome orbicularis
Last Observed: 2010, Koh Chang
Observed By: Dave Hinchliffe
Poor old Peridrome orbicularis. It doesn’t seem to have a common name – just the Latin one. You would think that some moth-spotter somewhere would have considered it beautiful enough to merit its own common name – even if it was something as prosaic as “Black-spotted orange moth”.
Maybe it has a name somewhere and we just haven’t found it yet.
Until then, at least on Koh Chang Nature, it shall be known as the Tequila Sunset Moth.
