Field Notes

Habitat:

This shrub which is commonly found by river banks at low altitudes, like this one by Arun River in Nepal.

Notes:

Spotted this never-seen-before moth on this shrub by the bank of Arun River. Actually, I was looking for a cool shade to take a break from the hot sun and a tiring whole morning casting of various spoons, spinners, plugs, etc. in Arun River in an effort to lure a giant Mahseer during our Mahseer Angling Expedition in Nepal. The 3rd photo is the shrub and the 4th photo is the shrub against the river.
