Hemithea tritonaria
This lovely little moth had a wingspan of approx. 2 cm / 0.8 inches.
Hills overlooking Manila.
Omg! More the references, more the confusion!
But my belief is it's Nemoria sp.

Haha, yeah Agnes has a wonderful collection of moths to refer to! ... I've just seen another one: http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/168...
I even checked one more Agnes spotting !
http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/172...
Both belong to Phillipines ! That's wat made me confused!
Thanks so much for your ID help Adarsha! It does look like Red-Fringed Emerald - Nemoria bistriaria...
According to this spotting though: http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/168...
... It might be a Hemithea Emerald Moth - Hemithea tritonaria ...?
There are two possibilities !
Either Nemoria bistriaria or Nemoria lixaria :)
Kindly check and verify..Region makes me confused!
