Inga roseomarginella is a moth in the family Oecophoridae. It was described by August Busck in 1911. [1] It is found in French Guiana. [2]

The wingspan is about 20 mm. The forewings are shining ocherous white with dark brown dusting, and with the entire costa and terminal edge broadly rosy red. The dark brown scales are irregularly sprinkled over the wing with a first and second discal spot basely emphasized. A dark brown line runs from the apical fourth of the costa in an outward curve across the wing to the dorsum. The hindwings are very light lemon yellow. [3]

<i>Sabatinca doroxena</i> Moth species in family Micropterigidae

Sabatinca doroxena is a species of moth belonging to the family Micropterigidae. It is endemic to the North Island of New Zealand. This small moth has a colourful forewing pattern with stripes and dots evident. It has been hypothesised that the forewing pattern is intended to resemble a jumping spider in order to allow the adult moth to escape predation. Adults of this species are on the wing from the beginning of September until mid January. It prefers damp but sunny habitat in deep forest, at the forest edge or in open shrubland. Larvae feed on foliose liverwort species including on Leptoscyphus normalis. Adults of this species have been located at the blossoms of flowering Cordyline and Ranunculus species.
