    It looks a lot like this one:
    White geometer moth (Idaea) in Sri lanka Still working on the identification. I particularly love the delicate and precise decoration on this one. Found during the day in Sri Lanka in some shrubs. Given its wing position I think it's a geometer, but which one? Asia,Scopula pulchellata,Sri Lanka,Wasgamuwa
