Help identifying winged, moth-like creature I noticed this moth (?) on my sofa yesterday. It matched the color of the sofa, so it was pretty hard to see. It's about an inch long, with a yellow body and light brown wings. I think it's a T. bisselliella. I'm from Kerala, South India. ![The moth I saw]( The wings: ![enter image description here](

I'm quite certain that this is an owlet moth that belongs to the species _Asota caricae_. It has the nickname "Tiger Moth", and is commonly found in the tropics of India.

I would like to note though that your first picture is somewhat misleading, just from where the flash washes the color so much. Because of this, I decided to more heavily rely on the second image than the first, which exhibits orange instead of yellow.
