“Hi. Perhaps it’s common but I’m here for just three weeks. Saw it yesterday in Kyoto. Best, D” Thanks very much for your photo submission. I was happy to receive such a clean photo of your moth, which is a common and handsome “Hotaru-Ga”, which means “Firefly Moth”, Pidorus atratus. Here is a page about Pidorus atratus with more photos of them. http://www7a.biglobe.ne.jp/~satoyama/hotaruga.html The caterpillars eat the plant Eurya japonica and the moths are often found during the day as they will happily live in the city. -- source link
