The tropical tiger moth - Asota caricae

Good afternoon all friends of #Amazing Nature , wherever you are, I hope you are all healthy and happy today.

On this occasion I will post some photos of the tropical tiger moth that I found some time ago when it got lost in my window, immediately my cellphone camera became a mainstay to capture it.

The wingspan is 51–58 mm. Palpi with black spots on 1st and 2nd joints. Forewings brownish fuscous. There is a basal orange patch with two subbasal black spots and a series of three spots on its outer edge. The veins are streaked with white. There is a white spot at lower angle of cell. Hindwings are orange yellow. A black spot at the end of the cell, one beyond, one below vein 2 and a submarginal irregular series which sometimes becomes a nearly complete marginal band. The veins crossing the band are yellowish. Larva black above and brown below. There are two dorsal white bands, a sub-dorsal black spot on each somite. A series of lateral black specks present with sparse black hairs. Head is reddish.

Usually, the tropical tiger moth won't threaten or hurt humans. But remember that even a worm will turn. Remember to still be cautious, It is found from the Indo-Australian tropics of India and Sri Lanka to Queensland and Vanuatu.

After getting some pictures I released them back into the wild and hoped that these moths would live freely in their habitat, Then I edited it a little to make it look more attractive, there's nothing wrong with trying portrait mode to add to my photo collection in my gallery.
