Phrudocentra centrifugaria demonstrates a
sexual dimorphism in the wing markings, with females often displaying
red-ringed cream-colored spots on both the forewing and hindwing (see
above). These spots may vary considerably in size between different
individuals or populations. Phrudocentra centrifugaria is
found in Florida and the Caribbean, and has been collected in the
Bahamas, Cuba, Jamaica, and Puerto Rico. |
