Wikipedia says about Polyptychus trilineatus "The wingspan is 74-112 mm" which is 'almost 5 inches'. I think Leana has the right ID. Please update accordingly. Scientific name should be left blank unless it is known. Thanks.

Hi isaiah2! Please update your spotting to reflect the suggested common name and scientific name. If you do not know the scientific name, you can just leave it blank and click on the box "Help me ID this species". You may include this spotting to the mission "Moths in the Philippines" at http://www.projectnoah.org/missions/1591... and please take time to read Project Noah's FAQ at http://www.projectnoah.org/faq . Looking forward to more spottings from you! Thanks!
