Geometrid Moth

Sirinopteryx rufivinctata

Description:

Golden coloured medium size moth spotted this afternoon on one of our windows. Wing span: 42 mm (fully stretched).

Notes:

After the first few photographs it started moving around, hence managed to coax it to move to a plain paper and to hold on for some more shots. However, it holds its wings in a slightly curved position.
