More peat forest denizens

I may need this, my handphone is not getting any signal. A little moth baby (Lyssa menoetius *). I'm sure your parents will be so proud !

Incidentally, this may be the first sighting of this moth in Peninsula Malaysia, although it has been reported in Borneo, Sangar (where ?) and Sulawesi as well as S. Thailand. More in this Moths of Borneo website.

* ID provided by Mr Gan from Nature Society, Singapore.

Amazing pictures but I hope even with global warming they stay where they are. What a possible exciting find though with that Moth.

That caterpillar is really quite handsome, isn't he?

Yes very striking....also pretty uncommon around here.

btw all these bugs are actually found by my trekking partner Boon. He has a sharp eye for these small critters ....
