    Default Tailed Moth,

    Thought it was a butterfly from far!!

    It is surely a moth , but have no idea what it is!!

    Any help to ID it will be much appreciated, thanks!

    Oh.. this one... they're back? There was a breakout last year where they were all over Singapore and Malaysia. Lots of them.

    Do a keyword search for Lyssa zampa and you should be able to find the threads on them.

    Possibly sighting of it on March 24 at National Stadium. One big slow flying object just after dusk -- with the strong floodlight on. No confirmation on ID though because only can observe the flight profile and side -- which is big.
