Description:

Brightly colored day flying moth. About 30mm long. I have been watching the cocoon for a week when at last this beautiful moth came out. The photo of the caterpillar was taken an year back. Almost sure it is the same species. Just posted for reference.

Habitat:

Spotted on the compound wall of my garden.
