"Venezuelan poodle moth"

In 2009, German zoologist Dr. Arthur Anker[4] photographed a moth in the Canaima National Park of the Gran Sabana region of Venezuela, and the photograph went "viral" on the internet,[5] including hoaxes claiming to be additional photos.[6] Anker initially captioned his photo as "Poodle moth, Venezuela", and later added " (Artace sp, perhaps A. cribaria)".[7]

Dr. John E. Rawlins from the Carnegie Museum of Natural History concurred with Anker's suggestion of the genus Artace for the identification:

Here’s my vote/guess to ID the poodle moth. The antenna is distinctive. "Lasiocampidae: Artace or a related genus, probably not Artace cribraria (presumably North America to Argentina, but nobody has revised this group from Mexico south). There are more than a dozen described South American species of Artace, but their delimitation, validity, and even their generic placement is uncertain. It will take two things to solve this problem: a comprehensive revision of Artace and kin, plus an actual specimen of a genuine “Venezuelan poodle moth.
