Bush Tailed Moth
Dudusa vethi

Field Notes
Description:
A brown hairy moth that owns 2 long hairy structure at the end of it's tail.
Around 25mm.
It is unlike most of the other moths here that fly away when disturbed.
Instead it stands it's ground and spread out the hairs on the 2 structures on it's tails as a defense mechanism.
Habitat:
Kundasang highlands.
Notes:
A strange nocturnal creature of Kundasang.
This is my first spotting of this species of moth, later on I spotted several others.
If this is not Dudusa vethi, then the other possible species is Dudusa synopla.
