One of the hard discussions we had ;-)... http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/16459007

Unfortunately this one is not Nigriceps. Many of the Amata's have these white antennae tips. But the spots and markings are different in Nigriceps. We have discussed the ones from the Philippines on several spottings argueing for one or the other but still we do not know which one it is. Links are not easy to interpret since most of them are without a correct ID or better, you can't trust any Amata ID on the web unless it is from a serious source and there are not many of them...

Please take note of the white tip of the antennae.
