About Eublemma cochylioides (Guenée, 1852)
Eublemma cochylioides (Guenée, 1852) has a wingspan of approximately 20 millimetres (0.79 in). In males, there is no pit in the forewing membrane towards the somewhat acute apex. The head and thorax are ochreous white. The basal area of the forewings is ochreous-white, bounded by a very oblique fulvous line; the area beyond this line is bright pink. The outer margin is suffused with fulvous. Two white spots are visible near the outer angle, with some black scaling on their outer edge. The hindwings are pale, and suffused with fuscous towards the outer margin. Its larvae have been recorded feeding on Elephantopus species and Prenanthes spinosa. This species is found throughout countries of the Old World, including France. In Europe, it also occurs in Greece and Portugal, as well as on the islands of Crete and Cyprus. In Asia, it is common in Hong Kong, India, Sri Lanka, Japan, and Taiwan, where it may be migratory. In Africa, it migrates to South Africa, and from South Africa it may migrate to the Australian islands of Fiji and Tonga, as well as to Queensland, New South Wales, and Western Australia.
