Thanks Ashish! It's such a 'delicate' creature... It certainly knows how to mimic a butterfly! :-)

Its definitely a moth as abdomen and antennas like a moth.

You've got me there, I was just looking at the wings. There are usually exceptions to every rule. I'm not familiar with Philippine fauna.

Thanks Anna! So butterflies can also have feathery antenna like moths?
AnnaWhipkey
I would guess butterfly because the wings are held vertically
