Hi Ann. It seems you unintentionally clicked the Butterfly mission for this spotting. Kindly transfer this pretty one to the Moth mission. Thanks :)

Could this be the same species as this spotting - Crambid moth,
Pyraustinae, Glyphodes microta - http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/816... ? ... Or at least the same genus?
