Thanks Ashish! It's such a 'delicate' creature... It certainly knows how to mimic a butterfly! :-)

Its definitely a moth as abdomen and antennas like a moth.

You've got me there, I was just looking at the wings. There are usually exceptions to every rule. I'm not familiar with Philippine fauna.

Thanks Anna! So butterflies can also have feathery antenna like moths?

I would guess butterfly because the wings are held vertically
