Lichen moth, Vietnam

December 2016. Biological information was requested about the cocoon of the moth on lichen found in southeast Vietnam.

A member said that the cocoon was typical of lichen moths in the genus Cyana (Erebidae: Arctiinae: Lithosiini), of which there are many species in Vietnam. The larvae will be feeding on lichens and other epiphytes; it is not a pest.
