Here is something very unique ! When I first saw it flying I thought I am seeing a new 'species'

It flew gently around like the above Tirumala. I saw it around 8.30am and by 9.00am when the sun is up, it is already gone into the deeper jungle.

After a couple of flights it decided to land for a sip of rain water.

When I look closely at its antenna, it dawn to me that it was a moth instead.

Later I found out (from some moth experts) that was a day-flying Pompelon Marginata Moth

WHAT A MOTH TO END THE JULY BUTTERFLIES SEGMENT!
