Lymantria monacha - Nun Moth

This was just another moth when I pulled the trigger, well, my eyesight is pretty poor. I wear glasses to be able to use the computer, so it is amazing that I find any bugs at all, as I hate wearing glasses with the camera.

Back at the lab, I pulled the image up and was immediately struck by the face pattern. I really hate researching moths, probably because I have not done enough, but this one came up pretty quick.

It is mostly recorded as a European moth, but has been recorded as far as Japan. But two other photographers have images of the same moth within a hundred miles of my location.

Location is Bandung, West Java, Indonesia. Alongside a stream and paddy fields.
