Socotra Crotalaria Moth (Utetheisa lotrix ssp. socotrensis)

At around 800 meter elevation and up the Euryops arabicus were in bloom and thus a lot of insects gathered to eat from the huge number of flowers. This was one of several lepidoptera species I encountered here.

Socotra Crotalaria Moth (Utetheisa lotrix ssp. socotrensis) is endemic to Socotra.
