Geometridae Moth

Description:

Medium sized moth. Predominantly green in colour. Circle-like patterns on wings. One of the Emerald moths but looks like an old and stained tea coaster with marks of many tea cups on it.

Habitat:

Monastery near Kewzing Village. A rural, remote and hilly area of Sikkim. Although it was raining and October is not a good month for moth-ing, we saw many moths on the walls, stairs, gates and corridors of this monastery near the tourist town of Ravangla. It is a short drive from Kewzing.

Notes:

From distribution; likely C. fea.
