Taxonomy
The species does not belong in Scoturopsis, but has not been placed in another genus yet. It is not even a member of the subfamily Dioptinae, but seems to be a quadrifid Noctuidae or perhaps a Lymantriidae or Arctiidae species.

gollark: Apparently I'm somewhat short-sighted, which might be because I use computers all the time and might be genetic or something.
gollark: > is boiling water considered illigal?It depends where, and the intent you're boiling the water with.
gollark: I mean, illegal doesn't mean unethical in all cases.
gollark: We have weird conversations quite often. Although you can probably just blame zenthros a lot.
