Spotting

Agree with the fooling. Our eyes might see things which are not really like this. But the camera would probably not "lie", at least from the technical data. An expert would immediately know if the picture is altered by photoshop. And the background color would also show slightly differences, if the colors would be altered. For me the original background looks quite natural for rattan. For me it is clear that this moth is actually blue. We had a similar discussion, without solution, about a Daphnis nerii from Dan. I think there might be natural color variation.
My closest guess would still be Geometridae, Ennominae, and as pointed out before Pelagodes could be a candidate, although the shape is slightly different from the one posted in Scott's link. And the color changings in this links are really amazing.

Hopefully someone will be able to provide an ID! in regards to light fooling a camera, that can depend on the camera, this was taken with as Mike mentioned a cheap digicam (BTW congrats mike on the new camera). For whar it's worth just a single adjustment in hue gives a green moth without much change to the background, examples

Well I'm certainly no expert but the background surface is rather bland. I didn't think it was an interaction with light reflecting off that...It may be a "structural color" as opposed to a pigment (or not). But I'm guessing that this is how it looks (most of the time). The question is, is it a unique species or a unique color expression for a species.

i think it's made of rattan, it was early morning and no other light source except for the sun

Hi agian Mike, ref the colour :- is that a bamboo fence, what was the light source?

wow.. interesting indeed, this photo was taken a year ago with a cheap digicam, could the camera automatic setting added to the blue?

since joining 3 days ago i learning a lot from this site and from you guys. observing insects has been my passion since childhood. i even bought a better camera 2 months ago to supplement this budding hobby. i hope i learn more from everyone :)

Very interesting how namitha's green geometrid moth turned to blue on yellow background....

Oh I don't know, but don't think so. I looked for an indigo geometrid for over 2 hours and the closest I came was to that one from India...not close at all...except the venation!

Moths can change colors too, @Scott???

This is an amazing moth. Just for the fun of it, compare the wing venation of your spotting to the moth here https://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/38... I used the 2nd photo. I don't know what this might mean. :-)

it's not plastic i swear

So pretty. It almost looks fake! Nice find!

A Pelagodes sp.? Please help us ID this blue moth...

Outstanding !

Splendid!

wow! as in blue talaga ang kulay !! keep on sharing MikeSoq ! na miss ko tuloy ang ifugao :)

Whoa! I've never seen a blue moth before.. Great spotting MikeSoq! Thanks for joining the Moths in the Philippines mission! :)

Beautiful moth mike. Blue colored with white trim.

Wow! So blue.

i got no other info on it, while on the mountains i woke up with over 100+ moths parked around the lamp, i grabbed my camera and immediately took pictures. i regret not taking notes and additional photos :(

Great moth Mike, do you have any more info i.e. size and habitat to help with ID?

Thank you :)

Wow that's amazing - great photo!
