This large moth with a face showing "eyes", red "nose" and a fine, curled "moustache" is an Indian Owlet-moth,
Spirama retorta. The wingspan can reach over 80mm (male) and nearly 90mm (female). Its extensive range is from South to Southeast Asia
from India across to China and Korea.
This is one of several moths called an Arctiine Tiger moth, this one being Amerila astreus with a native
range from South Asia to New Guinea. Wingspan when outstretched is some 50-60mm.
This emerald is one of the Thalassodes species. It is similar to Thalassodes immissaria with a
range from the Indian subcontinent to Indonesia and the Ryuku Islands, but the one shown has rounder hind wings rather than the angular
wings of T. immissaria.
