A worldwide community photographing and learning about wildlife
Fascinating to identify. After absolutely no knowledge about this moth, led by LindaAlisto to a specimen name, then verifying it, saw Leana Lahom-Cristobal's identification. Must now search for more information. Thanks to Linda and Leana for the compass points.

Again correcting myself after seeing specimens in "moth of the Philippines."
Thanks to LindaAlisto for leading me to identify it.
Thanks to Jonathan Hiew for pointing to the proper identification. Such a pleasure to know more about something that has been around for so long.
Thanks to Kris F for identifying it as "banana bush." I don't think this is correct. The banana bush or shrub has a flower 1/5 the size and is much more fragrant than the one I posted.
Fascinating to identify plants which have been around me for so long.
Map marker adjusted. Wrong posting due to lack of protocol knowledge. Thanks to Mr. Scott Frazier for the request for a detailed and correct information.
It has bits of red coral growth, which makes me believe that it is a true molluscan specimen. There are few specimens. The destruction of Philippine seas, especially due to human fishing and pollution have made deep sea mollusks in the country very rare. I hope to preserve it for some future pleasure and education of the generation after me.
Am very new to this site. Is it supposed to feed on oleander or honey suckle? Used to see a lot of Mariposas on my santol trees but hardly see any now. Sorry about not being able to easily nsvigate this site, age constriction. Will try to observe more. Eddy
Thanks.
Very new here. Just learned the rule. Thanks
