Congratulations Manoj, your Common Butterfly Moth is our Spotting of the Day:
"A butterfly intruder on #NationalMothWeek? No way! This Common Butterfly Moth (Tetragonus catamitus) is our Spotting of the Day! Day-flying moths in the subfamily Callidulinae adopt a butterfly-like resting posture as seen here, with their wings held closely over their back. They can be told apart from butterflies by their antennae, which taper to a point or may be just slightly clubbed.
National Moth Week is from July 21-29. Are you participating? You can still register a public or private event here: https://buff.ly/2LCh5ge, especially if your country or region isn't on the map yet! On Project Noah you can submit photos of moths you spot here: https://buff.ly/2LBq7tK "
