Green-veined satin geometer moth, Doratoptera nicevillei, Geometridae

Found sporadically throughout mainland Asia

Emerald Moth (Comostola sp.), family Geometridae, Punsand Bay, Cape York, Australia

Though this moth has been seen often, it has still not been scientifically described and given a scientific name. It is currently referred to as "Comostola ANIC1".

one of my favourite moth finds of all time. Comostola laesaria has a wingspan of only 20mm, so it was truly like finding a tiny gem amongst the nighttime gumleaves.

in the closeup below you can even see tiny little hyaline sections (little bits of transparent scales, in the middle of the larger orange spots).
