One of my goals for spring and summer. Find more PINK! Very beautiful!

Thanks bayucca, J and the other 2 who ID'd and confirmed, I have updated the page. @Sara, looks of a butterfly but actions of a moth! Usually I carry a small ruler to put near it and get some idea of size on the foto but I didn't have it in Borneo!

Geometridae, Desmobathinae, Eumelea sp. and looks like Eumelea biflavata. Please, verify, I am not 100% convinced about the species. Genus should be OK.
