I spotted this moth and many more on the ceiling of the open air restaurant/guesthouse in Ranomafana National Park. It's in the middle of the park and it's lights are the only around for miles in the middle of the forest.
Thanks for checking it out. Noctuidae is the largest family in Lepidoptera. Not sure where to start.
I'll need to check this again, but it might be an owlet moth, in the family Noctuidae: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noctuidae.
