Notes:

Another moth I photographed in Aristo inn at night. Aristo inn becomes a moth museum every night but less moths now because of the changes of climate, more lights from other buildings and the different management of of the inn now. ID is quite tough for this one, no result from Google and Flickr so I have to search one by one from www.mothsofborneo.com and found this distinct species - Areas galactina. >>>Map accuracy : 50m diameter.
