Lymantriinae, Arctonis sp.
This beautiful white moth had a wingspan of approx. 3 cm (1.2 inches).
Hills overlooking Manila.
Sorry, I underestimated how brilliant this moth's whiteness was, so camera settings weren't quite right...

Thanks so much NuwanChathuranga! I think you're right about the ID!
Thanks for your comments Karen and Christy!
possibly a Arctonis sp. Lymantriidae

Beautiful!! Sorry, no help with id!! Nice series of pics!
Could anyone help with the ID please? Could it be related to the Satin Moth (Leucoma salicis)?
