Eublemma dimidialis
Looks a bit like the stealth bomber in shape. A very attractive shade of pale golden yellow and strawberry pink.
I was sweeping up the mango flowers and leaves that were cluttering the yard when I noticed something sort of fly upwards as the broom touched the leaves. When I investigated it turned out to be this moth. It sat on the road outside oblivious to dogs and passing vehicles...and my neighbours were most curious about what I was photographing in the dirt...and No, they have never seen this moth earlier.
More info here: http://lepidoptera.butterflyhouse.com.au... Seems it is a minor pest.
A nice shot! This moth has such pretty, delicate coloring. Thanks for posting!
Lenny,
OMG...there are so many of them..and to think it took me over half a century to meet one. THANK you so much for sparing me time. I am going with E. dimidialis. Thanks again.
@Joshua..Thanks to you too.
OK Sukanya
You are right it does look better
E.dimidialis does not occur here in Thailand.
Have a look how many there are

Lenny, Thanks for the ID...I had no clue what this pretty moth was...but is this a closer match?
