Mocis undata
M. undata is a semilooper moth from the family of Erebidae, it is found in Afrotropical and oriental region as well as in India and Sri Lanka.
Farmland, mixed tropical forest.
Struggled between M. trifaciata, M. mayeri and eventually settled on M. undata due to the regional likeliness of distribution. Though the pictures presented on inaturalist show a distinct spot over the first band from the top of the forewing, wikipedias picture did not. I contribute this to genetic pattern-variation, or it might be a sub species.
