This moth's wingspan was 4.5 cm (1.8 inches).

Hills overlooking Manila.

Agreed! Looking forward to 'killing 2 birds with one stone' once we've got this critter ID-ed. :-)

I think this moth may be the same species as your other posting that we were discussing.

Might this one be related to the Dark Marathyssa Moth (Marathyssa inficita) ?

Could anyone give me a clue about this moth's ID? Thanks!
