Tussock Moth (?) – Bella Vista Cloud Forest Reserve, Ecuador
Another day in the jungle, another moth I can’t identify. I’m less confident that this is a true tussock moth (Erebidae, Lymantriinae), but it does have the posture and the somewhat fluffy legs. No matter what it is, it was a jewel to find while in the cloud forests of Ecuador.
As a bonus, I even managed to snag a little nematoceran fly in the photo!

Fly looks like a Cecidomyiid!
