About Eublemma accedens (Felder & Rogenhofer, 1874)

This moth species has a wingspan of approximately 22 to 24 millimeters. Its head, thorax, and abdomen are pale bright yellow, and the thorax has a slight pinkish tinge. The basal half of the forewings is yellow, bounded by a slightly oblique white and black line. The area beyond this line is bright pinkish with a faint copper tinge, and there is an indistinct, slightly sinuous sub-marginal line on the forewings. The hindwings are yellowish. African populations of this species have a pure white sub-marginal line on the forewings. The larvae feed on Oryza sativa, Waltheria americana, and Waltheria indica.
