bayucca,you are so right about museum specimens. I have The Butterflies of Thailand.A really excellent book for distribution,sub-species,and so-on,but the 1,600 or so photos are of pinned specimens and so the colors are a little faded. Line drawings are best. Back in England we have a field guide illustrator Richard Lewington (Moths of Britain and Ireland) who's drawings are exceptional.And in the states Sibley's bird illustrations are fantastic.

Welcome! Yours looks like being a fresh one, so colors and markings are probably "stronger" than in other ones and certainly compared with the ones from the museum collections. And moths are always good for being foxed ;-)

Thank you bayucca. It was the very yellow hindwing that had me foxed. Looks like a male.Thanks again.

Erebidae, Erebinae, looks like being Trigonodes cephise.
