I think because it is a female; the male is the one with the black dot on each of its forewings. Chk this out - http://lepidoptera.butterflyhouse.com.au...

I noticed, @Agnes that each of the Arctornis sp. on the link has a tiny dark spot on each forewing... My spotting does not have this spot :(

Sure.. although I think my Leucoma sp. link may have been mis-IDd.

And please don't delete the suggestions because I use it as reference for other spottings. Thanks!

Sure Agnes... Will check on the links... Thanks!

Hi Leana, I am suggesting a new ID. Leucoma sp. may not be the correct ID. Pls check out the link in my Arctornis sp. suggestion. Also, I have seen similar spottings which Nuwan had suggested as Arctornis sp. I'll delete my first suggestion once Arctornis sp. is confirmed Regards!!
