Phalera bucephala
Brownish grey moth with silver streaks, at certain angles, looks like dried rolled up leaf or a cigar. When disturbed it opens the wings only quickly to roll them back to carefully tuck into a roll again. Has a pair of large brown eyes which are located low, touching the floor. There's another pair of smaller eye-like opaque structures exactly above those large eyes. Length 40.00mm.
Semi-urban building with forests around it.
Yes Gilma, the first two photos are with macro lens plus extension tubes, and are for an effort to show close up details of the subject, and rest are with Samsung GalaxyS3 for wider perspectives. Thanks.
Thanks Gilma. Yes, I checked your spotting too. I liked it. In case you want to check, one very similar, is that of tmvdh at: http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/162......
Thanks LeanneGardner, Sunny and Diaz Jose Miguel for the lovely comments!

Thanks tmvdh. If you check your spotting, by some co-incidence, I've already ticked it long time ago. Thanks anyway.
Thanks Gilma. I checked your posting too; they look quite similar except the patterns on their wings! Going to post more for different angles of views.
Beautiful!! I saw something similar only once...
