Ochrognesia gavissima

Scientific name: Ochrognesia gavissima (Walker)
Family: Geometridae
Thai name: ไม่มี

A week ago, I joined my friend's field trip to collect moth specimens in two national parks, Doi Suthep and Doi Inthanon, in Chiang Mai province. There're lots of moths on the light trap esp. hawk moths, which I was specially interested in. But I couldn't take my eyes off this colorful moth. It appeared that this is Ochrognesia gavissima in family Geometridae. It's a small moth with white zigzag lines and markings on colorful wings.
