Dioptine moth

Nebulosa aliena

Description:

A smallish colourful day-flying moth. The photo is a better description than any words I can think of.

Habitat:

A small patch of primary rainforest below our lodge at an altitude of around 1350 m.

Notes:

Another in the series of day-flying moth from this area which I hope get help with identifying.

Your spotting has been nominated for the Spotting of the Week. The winner will be chosen by the Project Noah Rangers based on a combination of factors including: uniqueness of the shot, status of the organism (for example, rare or endangered), quality of the information provided in the habitat and description sections. There is a subjective element, of course; the spotting with the highest number of Ranger votes is chosen. Congratulations on being nominated!

Oh yes, - just a bit higher up the road.
I am delighted if I can help at all.

Thanks Dominik.
As well as many great butterflies I also saw many great day-flying moths on this trip. Sadly the photo of this one is not sharp.
