Mango Tussock Moth

Porthesia [cf] scintillans

Description:

Small moth. Fuzzy legs (maybe Tussock moth).Palest of pale cream in colour with faint marks all over the wings.

Habitat:

Monastery near Kewzing Village. A rural, remote and hilly area of Sikkim. Although it was raining and October is not a good month for moth-ing, we saw many moths on the walls, stairs, gates and corridors of this monastery near the tourist town of Ravangla. It is a short drive from Kewzing.
