Hello,

Anybody can help with identification of this moth found in Kenya?
Looks a bit like Spodoptera but I'm not sure. It has this distinct "snake like" marking which I cannot see anywhere else.
Thanks for helping, Chris.

Plusiinae of some sort. Possibly a Chrysodiexis spp

Hi
I would say this was Cornutiplusia circumflexa. It's known from Kenya.
