Kundasang mountains, Sabah, Malaysia.

Notes:

Thanks to AshishNimkar for guiding me to the correct species ID - Artena inversa. We always stay at Seri Kinabalu resort in Kundasang because there is a variety of moth species coming here every night that makes the resort looks like a Moth museum, this moth is one of the specimen from this "museum".

Welcom Chief. It is a good thing to follow you because your arthropods spottings never fail to increase rapidly. By keeping in touch, I can visit your page regularly to see whether I can help you in identification work. Keep the spottings coming and keep up the good work.
