Lepidopteran larva ID
Rui Andrade
I found this lepidopteran larva in Barcelos, Portugal on the 30th of November 2006. I've been having some trouble in finding out what this species is. Can anyone help me?

Maybe Spiris striata or Spilosoma lubricipeda!?

Thank you cosmln and crexSmile.

Well, I think it's possible that it belongs to Arctiidae, but I can't find anything similar to it in leps.it

I think it?s a Nola (Nolidae) of some kind... aerugula (allmost...or...), cucullatella,... and then You have some we dont have up here. Hard to find any pics on internet... Anyway, either Nolidae or Arctiidae.

Let us know when you get the "name"

/janis

edit: the size should be about 10-15mm to fit Nola (the ones we have "up here"Wink.

Why not Diacrisia sannio larva

Rui Andrade
Thanks LouisSmile

I think it doesn't seem to be D. sannio, but I'm not really sure.

Finally I have a good sugestion for the name of this moth: Coscinia cribraria, an arctiid.
Recently I tried to raise another larva but once again it didn't work. The problem now was an infection by a fungus. It started to spread in the head and now is all over the entire body. In the first picture we can see that the cephalic capsule is not black (as it should be), it must had been full with fungus.
What species of fungus is this? Or the group it belongs to.
