    Default Please help to ID this moth

    Shot this moth in the dark shady area of a forest. At first I thought it was a butterfly due to its flight pattern and the upright wings when at rest.
    Please help to provide an ID.

    Heh heh... when you mentioned a Yamfly lookalike, I immediately thought of this moth, as I've shot it at that location before. Just do a search here using the keyword "Callidula" and you'll see how many of us have been fooled by this pesky moth!

    Thanks, Khew for the ID of this moth. I think I sighted both sexes of this moth as well. I have to wait till I had a shot of this moth before I realised it is a moth.
