Mothsmoth
dearest bug people,
once again, thank you for such a wonderful site. i found this little guy (1/2 inch) flying around our control room at the israeli electric co.) i couldn’t get him to pose with his wings open but the under wings were sort of plain, greyish beige. what kind of moth is it???
much love!

Hi Michael,
This looks so much like the American Rattlebox Moth, Utetheisa bella, that we were surprised to read your letter that it is from Israel. A google search of the genus name and Israel led us to a site that pictures Utetheisa pulchella.
