Field Notes

Description:

White with pale grey horizontal striped pattern on wings.

Habitat:

Suntaley khola is a remote village in West Bengal, India with the River Moorti flowing by it. There is only one narrow motorable road that ends by the river. The moths are drawn to the porch light and alight on the walls near the light. These can often be seen sitting there the next morning. This one is sitting on the leg of a chair.
