Blue is not an easy color to find for #Lepidoptera, but #Arctiinae always provide! Not too many photos of this species online. Try to find it! I'll drop the ID here tomorrow.

Sneak-peak at Figure 1 from an upcoming review on #Erebidae, the most speciose family of #Lepidoptera. Type genera/species of all 18 subfamilies are figured, providing a cursory overview of what an "erebid" is.
