Field Notes
Description:
Violet coloured moth with brown patterns on the wings. Furry.
Habitat:
Sitting on the richly coloured wall of the monastery near the tourist town of Ravangla, Sikkim.
Notes:
October is not the best time for moth-ing and it was raining too, yet I did get to photograph some moths I had not seen before. Apart from the lily moth Polytela I have not seen a moth in this colour. Can anyone tell me its name, please?
