I would normally expect moths to come to my lights, so I was pleasantly surprised when this Rachana jalindra burbona (Banded Royal) appeared last night. This is only a moderately rare species on Samui, seen occasionaly every year.

I am turning green with envy. :-(
Interesting visitor Les, is your place near the forest?
Hope to see more special guests appearances at your place...:bsmile:
Les, you didn't capture it so that you can shoot it in the morning ? just kidding :bsmile:
My home is not near virgin forest, there is very little left here. However, there is secondary woodland nearby.Quote:

Often I release them outside and they fly straight back in again!
Only once have I not released the specimen, and that was when the soon to be famous Hasora mavis flew in. It will be appearing shortly in Pisuth's second edition!
