Misidentification?
[edit]The lepidopterans in this photo are probably not riodinids. The male adult butterfly of Riodinidae have reduced forelegs, but the individuals in the photo all appear to have forelegs. Pachythone is involved in the mimicry complex, which includes very similar moths in Notodontidae and Geometridae (see these references: [1] and [2]). At the very least, the category and file title should be renamed, since the source flicker is now titled Cyllopoda sp. (Geometridae). --森津 (talk) 19:17, 7 January 2022 (UTC)
