Hello all friends at fascinating insect, may you always be healthy and happy...
My post today is a large moth that I initially thought was a butterfly. This moth I met was perched on the floor of the hut. I only knew this was a moth when I approached it. It's really the first time I've seen a moth that big.
Physically this moth has a wingspan of up to 10 centimeters. Dominated by brown with a pattern of three white circles on both wings. We can also see the black horizontal line pattern on the two wings on the bottom side. While the face and legs are covered with hair.
From the existing literature, this moth belongs to the genus Cricula of the Saturniidae family. This moth has a distribution from India, the Philippines, Indonesia and Sri Lanka Source.
Here are some pictures I share with this community, hopefully it will be useful...
Thank you for your support...
Best regard,
