Geometridae-Sterrhinae

Very nice moth!

That is such a lovely Moth. That is what I called Geometric!!

Thanks AgnesAdiqueTalaveraAn bayuuca for your suggestions and Link provided for this wonderful moth.

Irungbam, please, post this on FB you show Peter the suggestion!

Thanks bayucca :-) Again, BOLD Systems helped save the day :D

I would say, you saved your Sunday!! That's looks like a perfect match. However, I haven't seen the other one clearly, it was too small to read any name. But your suggestion looks quite good.

This could be a Chrysocraspeda moth.. pls take a look at the BOLD Systems collection, including this one - http://www.boldsystems.org/index.php/Tax...

Just surreal!

Beautiful, this is a spotting to dream of

...so that's where my sari blouse ended-up ! what a shape !!
Thanks for sharing this amazing spotting with us IJS.

Noah Rangers..... If you have another data of this moth in your database please share to me.

Thanks

I think its the only specimen in Project Noah, but still not able to get a concrete ID. Possible ID of this moth is "Ptochophyle dipyramida Prout" but not sure. A female specimen of "Ptochophyle dipyramida" is describe in "Moths of Borneo" but not a male. By studying the female me and Peter Smetacek have put this species in geneus Ptochophyle, Subfamily-Sterhinae, Family-Geometridae.

Please suggest ID if you found any link. Thanks.

I am glad that someone brought this back again (otherwise, I would have missed this entirely!). I agree with Ava T-B. This beautiful moth and it looks like kimono jacket.

interesting wing shape! beautiful moth! thanks for sharing... :-)

Injica, Its an moth (Family-Geometridae), not butterfly...

Possible ID of this Moth- Ptochophyle dipyramida Prout Male??? Geometridae-Sterrhinae- as suggested by Peter Smetacek, Butterfly Research Centre, bhimtal (India). http://www.classicnatureprints.com/pr.Se...

Such an incredible butterfly, I can't imagine how it is flying with this shape :) Tnx for sharing!!! Truly amazing :)

This looks like a kimono.

Thanks Harsha ......

Wouw....fantastic...

Your moth collection is truly amazing!

thanks to all for ur comments.

Woah, this is crazy... it looks like it shouldn't even be able to fly!! What a wicked looking moth, great spotting! Thanks for sharing with us :)

Wow! Great spotting! Love the shape!

The shape of these moth resembles with the "Blouse" of the sari wore by Indian women.
