The very last species to appear at my house just before the New Year. This tiny mottled specimen I believe to be a snout-nosed moth or grass moth. Any ideas?

Species: Lyssa zampa

Common name: Tropical Swallowtail Moth
Date & Location: 23.ix.14, Khon Kaen (my school)

 

An amazing moth to start off my new blog. A massive palm-sized moth commonly seen in Khon Kaen, especially late in the year (September-December). This one was spotted in the corridor at my school ... and I held him (though I think it was very old)!
