Westermannia superba
Beige and chocolate colours...a pleasing combination. But at first glance the chocolate patches seem like holes! A rust coloured patch on the middle of the head. Small, quiet moth.
Borong, located at an altitude of 5800 feet in South Sikkim. It is pretty remote and untouched. Lots of wild vegetation. Rains a lot. Moths love it here. They sit for hours on the wall of the resort.
"May be of an as yet to be described (Himalayan) type."
OMG!! Absolutely thrilled...but the moth is gone :(
