Today I've seen also this unusual (to me) but beautiful moth. On Les website I have a picture of a Terothysanus noblei[/I], but cannot find any more infos on the web with that name.

Oh Dear! Have I misspelt it? It should be Pterothysanus noblei, otherwise known as Nobles Tuftwing.

Your photo shows a much darker specimen than mine, and I can not see the tufts on the tornal area of the hindwing.
