Spotting

Description:

A few black dots on the inner side; otherwise, pure white.

Notes:

I spotted it trapped in a lizard's mouth with one wing. I approached to click but the lizard got scared, left it there and crawled away. Only after that I could see how beautiful it was. It looked like a fairy to me.

Ashish, Haploa has a very yellow head for this one. No?

It looks so similar to all of these but no exact picture.

Right. And Eochrois callianassa looks sleek, while this one broadens at the back.

May be unknown Haploa specie.

Harsha, I could not find anything with the yellow legs either on Eochrois callianassa or Oregon Cycnia. The only thing is that Eochrois has a duller colour. Still searching, will confirm if I find anything.

Satyen, the one we have here has two yellow-black fore legs. I cant see the same on the link.

Ashish Eochrois callianassa is little off white or grey in colour whereas the above spotting seems white. If it is pure white then it is surely Oregon Cycnia.
