antennas where black. When zooming in, you could see a featherlike pattern, which is very often seen with moths.

Hmm, kinda hard to say, yours is not close enough. Seems the indian one has the yellow in front, while this one has it at the back. Wingpattern looks same, but the wingshape looks somewhat different.

My butterfly is at exact size of Common Tiger.

Tell him to post on Project Noah
Tom Maebe
Unfortunately not. But my friend has, since he also shot it. I could ask for it.
Ashish
Does it look alike this http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/6639253 I do not able see properly wing's colours and antennas.
Ashish
Do you have another picture, with top view of wings..?
Tom Maebe
Not really small. Flew to our gasoline lamp around 10pm. Has the size of a pack of cigarettes with spread wings.
Ashish
Might be a darter as eyes look alike. If it is small size butterfly.
