Large moth for ID please.

An easy one, I'm sure, for you here, Roger.

Appears to be the Lyssa zampa (Giant Uranid Moth) see discussion here :)

yes appears to be a Lyssa zampa.

I shot one here too, last year.

Thanks Guys.

I go with Lyssa zampa, also. Note though that the very similar L. monetius is also possible in southern Thailand.

see the Moths of Borneo website for details:

cheers,

Thank you, Roger. After reading the descriptions, it appears that my sdpecimen is a female of Lyssa zampa (the wider white/grey markings lead me to that impression).

PS. I'm slowly getting links to the various volumes, Nos 1,3,5,6,8 & 12 so far!

these are the parts that should be on-line
