Chocolate Owlet Moth

Artena inversa

Description:

A chocolate brown triangular moth in Kundasang. Lines run along the wing patterns. 2 dots on both sides of its forewings.

Habitat:

Kundasang mountains, Sabah, Malaysia.

Notes:

Thanks to AshishNimkar for guiding me to the correct species ID - Artena inversa. We always stay at Seri Kinabalu resort in Kundasang because there is a variety of moth species coming here every night that makes the resort looks like a Moth museum, this moth is one of the specimen from this "museum". >>>Map accuracy : 10m radius.

Welcom Chief.
It is a good thing to follow you because your arthropods spottings never fail to increase rapidly. By keeping in touch, I can visit your page regularly to see whether I can help you in identification work.
Keep the spottings coming and keep up the good work.
