Field Notes

Description:

Like an elongated piece of fluff...cannot see its eyes, antennae...nothing actually except two fuzzy extensions which I think are legs.

Habitat:

Neora Valley Jungle Camp. About 3 hours drive from the coordinates shown. Remote hilly forested area. Himalayan foothills. The moths show up, drawn to the porch lights and then find comfortable places (not necessarily lit up areas) to sleep...by the time it is light again, they are gone.
