Orgyia sp.
Violet coloured moth with brown patterns on the wings. Furry.
Sitting on the richly coloured wall of the monastery near the tourist town of Ravangla, Sikkim.
October is not the best time for moth-ing and it was raining too, yet I did get to photograph some moths I had not seen before. Apart from the lily moth Polytela I have not seen a moth in this colour. Can anyone tell me its name, please?

I love the violet on its wings. Very eye catching.
