Fruit Piercing Moth

Thanks so much, Viv! Will do! :-)

Hi Jacob! I will be in Devon, England during National Moth Week, so hopefully participate there, I'm sure my mum will be up for some moth spotting : ) Both PN members, Lenny Worthington & Rob Thacker are based in Thailand so maybe you can give them a shout... I am already a member of the 'Moths of the World' mission .. thanks : )

Hello, Viv! I think you are right—this looks like a fruit-piercing moth in the genus Eudocima. Have you registered for National Moth Week yet? National Moth Week is a global citizen science event that celebrates the amazing biodiversity of moths. This year, National Moth Week is July 19 to July 27! Your country, Thailand, is not on the map yet! Looking for moths near an outside light is all you need to do. You can register for a private or public and find more information at www.nationalmothweek.org. It would be great if you are interested in participating. If you add a spotting to the “Moths of the World” mission of a moth found during National Moth Week (as you have here), you will contribute to important citizen science data! The mission can be found here: http://www.projectnoah.org/missions/8841.... Feel free to contact me with any questions via comments here or in an email: jgorneau@gmail.com.
