Emerald Moth
Comibaena sp.
27.33, 88.62
Field Notes
Description:
Pale green. Translucent. Brown marks on the bottom margin of wings.
Habitat:
drawn to the lectric light at the resort in Borong, Sikkim. Remote, hilly area with a profusion of vegetation; both wild and cultivated.
Notes:
When I was photographing this moth, people commented it was "glowing". For a minute I was confused too...a luminescent moth??? Then I realized it is so translucent that the light bulb above was passing right through at the edges. I have only cropped the photo; not auto-corrected for anything..
