Very nice Brahmaea chris from an unusual locality.

Those are some mighty nice (self-collected) examples Paul ! You always seem to find such nice examples in your field work.

Did you happen to pick up any of the nice day flying moths present there in Thailand and Laos ? If you did could you show us some of them ?

Don't have many moths in my collection but for this beautiful genus I make room.
A couple of unidentified specimens from Nepal.
Got them at an entomological show in 2011.

Yes, I collected some day flying moths in both countries.
