Field Notes

Description:

The eye is puzzled by the rich red colour of the backdrop. The moth is yellow with reddish orange marks.

Habitat:

Monastery near Kewzing Village. A rural, remote and hilly area of Sikkim. Although it was raining and October is not a good month for moth-ing, we saw many moths on the walls, stairs, gates and corridors of this monastery near the tourist town of Ravangla. It is a short drive from Kewzing.

This pecimen is quite tiny. Ones I've spotted are at least double that size! What are/were you doing in Kewzing, anyway(pl excuse me for asking)?
