Garaeus apicata
A pair of upwardly curved wings end in thick fleshy handles. A prominant reddish canal-like gutter coming from a set of jewelleries (if joined in the middle looked like a beautiful necklace!) located at the rear wings also ends here. The set of jewelleries - which are raised - form distally dam-like strutures to the three gossamer-lined see-throughs. Over all colour: brownish. Wing span (across the curve): 35mm; if stretced, could be >55mm.
Never imagined something like this ever existed in this world!. The middle gossamer-lined window (wing) of the last photo, if enlarged >100% shows a tiny chip-like sharp rectangular figure. Experts may examine it. The purpose of uploaded photos: 1. The essence; 2. The decoration; 3. The overall dimension; 4. The 'holes' (through the wings); 5. The fat body.
Thanks Nuwan for the ID. You're always at the rescue. Bit surprised as this's also a geometrid?! Experts may re-classify this one into something ealse.
Thanks Nuwan. But you can't just like and go! As usual expecting the ID from you only.
