Zeuzera multistrigata Moore, 1881
27.3354, 88.6115
Field Notes
Description:
Normally seen as black and white, but in this case it is bluish, may be due the direction of the light. This is a large moth.
Habitat:
All India Radio Station, Gangtok is housed in some old bungalows. There are tall old trees in the compound. The compound is surrounded by a mixed forest. Altitude: about 2,000 m.
Notes:
I saw this moth high up on a tree while coming out of the Radio Station after a programme. I requested the in-charge for a ladder. The guard climbed and took some photos under my guidance. I was not satisfied and I climbed myself up the 12-foot ladder and took some more photos. This is one of them.
This is there perhaps to lay eggs.
