Lyclene sp.
About 4cm total large, light brown with a dark brown pattern, this species has interesting lateral wing tufts which in other moths serve as bat 'sonar foils'
Spotted in a roof at Toraja - Sulawesi, day time. Lyclene is a genus of tiger moths centred on SE Asia though extending west to the Himalayas and north to China.
I meet this specimens in a break from our trip to Tana Toraja in Central Sulawesi, were we stop to take a coffe in a kind of open coffe-shop with views to the tea fields.
