Midama Moth

Description:

I saw this medium sized moth flying around during the day, along a path in Hoollongapar Gibbon Sanctuary, Assam. It settled on the leaves of a plant beside the path in shade. The blue markings were such a brilliant colour, They are what caught my eye first.

Habitat:

Gibbon Wildlife Sanctuary. Plains alluvial semi-evergreen forest, with some wet evergreen forest patches.
