Eudocima hypermnestra
A moth that looks like a dried leaf. Eudocima is a genus of moths of the Noctuidae family, Subfamily Calpinae. From Wiikipedia: Calpinae is a subfamily of moth family Noctuidae. It is closely related to the Catocalinae; both subfamilies contain large species with wingspans larger than 5 centimetres (2 in). The status of this subfamily is somewhat disputed; it is sometimes merged into the Catocalinae.
Spotted outside of the house leading to the garden. In Pansol Calamba Laguna, Philippines.
