What an amazing moth! Brilliant spotting!
Uploaded this specimen because of the unique display. Here's a fresher spotting... http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/262...
Roy: I see. Insufficient images for accurate ID. Well, there's a good a start.
Lauren: Saw a greenish-brown one recently on the window, thought it was a wood splinter. I went on to poke it, to clear my doubt :)
This would be so well hidden in a tree or leaf litter. Very neat.
I have a lot of trouble with these there seem to be a lot of species but few pictures or named specimens available. This is most probably a Scalmicauda species but I think there is another genus which look very similar. I have a photo of it from Cameroon
