Blotched Emerald

Comibaena bajularia

Blotched Emeralds normally fly at night, with males being more attracted to light than females. As they age, the green colour often changes to a creamy white. Caterpillars begin to emerge in late July, but they can be hard to detect because they attach pieces of leaves to their bodies for camouflage.
