Sure Harsha! The easiest one to find a match visually that I use is http://mothphotographersgroup.msstate.edu/Plates.shtml -- but this mostly for North American species--it can help you find something close to give you an idea of where to focus your search in more local resources. Additionally, the same site has pinned (not living) images which might get you closer still--but the easiest way to use this section is to rotate your image so that it matches the wing positions in the photos. http://mothphotographersgroup.msstate.edu/pinned.php?plate=25&page=2&sort=h try starting at the link above at 8598
hi Nina. Thanks for help. Could you be more specific? Some related link?
Something near species Bulia, Melipotis, Drasteria... I don't have field guides for species of India, so I can only give you guess as to the genus of this specimen
