Hi, everybody! Smile

Here I bring a Phasiinae, found by Villaviciosa Estuary, N Spain, on September the 1st, on Daucus carota.

Could it be Clairvillia?

Any help will be very welcome. Many thanks in advance!

I'm not overly familiar with them but could it be Besseria dimidiata?

It is Clairvillia, one of the two.

Thank you, Jorge! Wink

Would you say which Clairvillia is it? Cool I've shown the pictures to Piluca, and she thinks it's Clairvillia biguttata. Smile I'd love to confirm her thought!

I was too lazy to look it up.
But my gut feeling was biguttata.
