Hypercompe ocularia, the ocularia leopard, is a moth of the family Erebidae. The species was first described by Johan Christian Fabricius in 1775.[1]
Description
This moth is a translucent-white colour, patterned with numerous brown, oval rings on the forewings.[1]
Distribution
It is found in Colombia,[2] Peru and Ecuador. This is a cloud-forest species found at elevations between about 200–1000 m.[1]
Biology
Moths of the genus Hypercompe are noxious to birds and exhibit warning colouration. When approached by a bird, these moths expose a coloured abdomen and exude noxious fluids as a defence mechanism.[1]
