Hi Ann. Thanks. Just happened to be in a restaurant in Tagaytay City which turned out to be a moth haven. All those moth spottings came from the same place :-) And yup common name would be a Looper Moth :-)

Am I right to assume that its common name is a Looper Moth...?

Hi Eric! Thanks for letting me know about your interesting ID discussion... I don't know if I can get any further with ID-ing than you guys have already... Hey, and great moth photos! It was just a matter of time before you and moths discovered each other :-)

Hi Ann. Finally spotted some moths myself one of which is the same as this. Have an interesting discussion on ID with Ashish and Dan. Appreciate if you could help out so we can ID this as well :-) http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/7343199
