  1. Maybe Xestia c-nigrum. Posted 5 years ago
    1. Thanks, Christine for the ID :)

      Most of the pics I came across were documented from US and Europe and a handful from Asia, including 1 pic from Philippines from locality not too far from where I saw this one.

      Again my apology for the late response, didn't get any e-mail notifications :(

      ps. I noticed you had a picture of this too just last month! :D
      pps. looking at the picture closely, it looks like this one was laying eggs, but I didn't noticed it when I took the pic :(

          I didn't noticed that you have added that.
          I must have missed lots of stuff, not being observant enouhg :(
