Hasora khoda
A reasonably large skipper butterfly, wingspan about 4-5cm. It was under a leaf and we thought it had green wings, but the second shot (with flash) shows that it's actually brown. Thanks to JeffCrocombe for the ID.

What a stunning little skipper.
nice! the white marking (on the hind wing-underside?) is so striking - wonder what the fore wing looks like.
I agree! You see a wonderful example between flash or no flash...
Oh cool, thanks Bayucca. I'll look into it.
It's a good lesson in photography too.
It is not a moth, but I nice Hesperiidae/Skipper butterfly.
