Garudinia latana
This is a moth that i found on the wall of my house. This moth is brownish in color, and it has black patches on its thorax and posterior of its wings. The size of this moth is about 6 mm in length. The shapes of both black patches matched correctly with Garudinia latana.
- Spotted on the wall of my house. Usually, it can be found around the house (especially near the light sources).
- This is a type of moth from family Arctiidae (Arctiid Moth). It is attracted to the light (possibly a nocturnal insect). Thanks to Psyche (Dr. Seow) for the ID. - http://www.butterflycircle.com/showthrea....
