Wikipedia Abstract

Netria viridescens is a moth of the family Notodontidae. It is found from the Oriental Tropics to New Guinea. The wingspan is 66–87 mm. Adults have green forewings with darker medial and basal bands. There is some variation in the green tone (which is usually paler in females) and the intensity of the banding. The larvae only feed on young leaves of Bassia, Mimusops, Sideroxylon and Achras sapota. They live on the undersides of the leaves of their host-plant. They are dull green with an orange-red collar and a shiny-granular head.
