Day Flying Moth @ USR

[Common Mime]

I think this is the same one we saw last Sunday? Was it shot at the same location?

The photo is of a looper moth - Dysphania malayanus (Geometridae, Geometrinae).
This species is probably involved in a mimicry ring with another geometrid moth genus (Bracca) from a different subfamily - Ennominae, and two other genera, including one in Noctuidae.

see http://www.mothsofborneo.com/part-11...oarmiini_2.php for notes on Bracca by J.D.Holloway (Moths of Borneo) and the convergent patterns.
