Field Notes

Description:

So similar to my spotting: http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/985428909
Yet definitely not the same species.

Habitat:

Campus of the Neora Valley Jungle Camp.Hilly. Forested. Himalayan foothills. Remote. Moth paradise. Wild and forested area; the porch lights draw the moths in.

Notes:

National Moth Week 2016

I have realized that it is better to take shots which the eye thinks are duplicate because on screen I can see the differences!
