chinnotes Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 I think it belongs to the day flying moths, family Zygaenidae. If you allow me to post your photo in a Thai forum specializing in insects of Thailand its name could be possibly found. - But to do this I need to know in which province you found it. Thank you, Erwin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterMan Posted September 26, 2012 Author Share Posted September 26, 2012 Chinnotes! Great Please post it! I found it at an ocean front hotel in Kata Beach Phuket. It was taken July 25, 2009 Taken at 4.30pm (wow I did not realise I took this 3 years ago.. have been meaning to post it here for a while.. ..) THank you!

chinnotes Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 Well, it is now sure, that this is a member of the Zygaenidae family (day flying moths) as I had suggested in my previous post. But Pisuth Ek-Amnuei, who has just written a thick book on butterflies of Thailand says that he has never seen this one. He thinks it's new for Thailand! When next time I will go to the British Museum in London, I try to check their collecion of Zygaenidae. But this will not happen very soon, as next week I will go for Indonesia for some time.. As soon as I know more I will post here again. Erwin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
