KS038A Erebus ephesperis
Erebidae Catocalinae. Wingspan: 96mm.
This interesting, quite big moth was captured around the evening buffet lights by our friend Madeline, who came back from the buffet with it cupped in her hands. Fortunately, we had a large plastic "jar" with us (just in case we saw any moths), so it was transferred to that whilst we finished our evening meal.
I am amazed that a moth can have markings which makes the wings look like an extra tattered wing is on top of the real wing, including shadows! What influence would make this sort of evolution to occur? See more species at my Koh Samui Moths Album.
