Spotting

Notes:

On the morning of day-5 of our rafting-angling camps along Subansiri River I spotted this moth outside my tent frozen in the night frost, just moving its antenna when the first beam of the morning sun fell on its head.

Thanks bayucca for all the support and help towards an ID for this beautiful moth. After going through all the refs by you and Nuwan I'll bet for Eucorma mindanaoensis.

I certainly would, if I could... I already have added all my possible inputs for this one. I cannot help more, maybe Nuwan would take another look into this one.

Pidorus "all" are red-necks! What about Eucorma sp.? I only found Eucorma mindanaoensis from the Philippines. Any info about Eucroma from India?

Must be a Zygaenid! to me it's more likely a Pidorus sp. than Eterusia repleta.
however they all have a "red neck" !!

Nuwan, any ID of this one? I also checked Arctiinae, but I still tend to Zygaenidae.

Zygaenidae, Chalcosiinae, not Pidorus glaucopis.
Eterusia repleta???
