Catocala faustina cleopatra
Catocala faustina cleopatra is a subspecies of underwing moth in the genus Catocala, family Erebidae. Like other underwings, it possesses cryptic forewings that conceal brightly colored hindwings, which are revealed when the moth is disturbed. The subspecies was described by Strecker in 1874. Underwing moths are notable for their distinctive defensive display behavior and are popular among lepidopterists.
