Hi Reginald, your lovely moth appears also at the set of photos taken from Mt. Banahaw - http://www.flickr.com/photos/gancw1/6286037837/. Pls transfer this spotting to the Philippine Moths mission - http://www.projectnoah.org/missions/15913873. Thanks!!
Hi Reginald! This spotting is a moth. We have a separate mission for moths in the Philippines at http://www.projectnoah.org/missions/15913873 . Please join and include this spotting in that mission. Thanks! :)
same as the ones spotted by paul bourdin at Mt. Makiling, Laguna, Philippines
Hi Bayucca, I am just wondering that this could be a new species of the Omiza genus because of the resemblance of their body shapes. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Omiza So far no current Omiza species stated in Wikipedia are a match for this species.
When I google Omiza I see anything similar to this one. Chun, do you have any reference link?
I believe it is a Geometrid moth too. Possibly a new species of Omiza sp. ?
This is a moth. http://www.flickr.com/photos/paulbourdin/3374825066/ Unfortunately no ID. Geometridae???
