Altha, please remember that different cameras and lighting also have an effect on what people see on the other end. Take a look at the following spotting:http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/16906174

No reason for being confused. The actual name is Asota speciosa. I actually do not understand why wiki took the older name in the title of the article and writing "formerly called...". I did not realize the confusion I made with the link, but usually there are some more infos about the moths on wiki.

Thank you for the link Johan, but now I am more confused than before.
