Field Notes

Description:

Attractive shade of brownish-peach. Medium-sized moth. Distinct broken/angular dark line on the wings but no other pattern/texture.

Habitat:

Asleep on the papaya plant in my backyard. It remained asleep even after I came back from my walk..pretty unsafe to sleep so soundly in the open when insect-eating birds and Calotes (lots of cute baby ones) and other lizards are around. I woke it up whereupon it flew over the boundary wall into my neighbour's house.
