more moths from fraser's hill

well, here we are again, drawn to fraser's hill like moths to a flame. we were there from 26-30 dec 2007 and on the 2nd day, we found a caterpillar of a moth at the dump and the same species of caterpillar again chomping up african violets in a pot outside a bungalow.


here are some pix of moths which visited our bungalow.

this is a saturniid Antheraea rosieri (f) which the caretakers found on a wall in the kitchen.
