A big moth, around 4-5 inches wide. Pictured in Bangalore, India.
Any ideas?

Reminds me on: http://agrozoo.ne...zaver=5402 (general looks & size)
I would suspect there are two big round dots hidden.
Just a suggestion where around in taxonomy to look.

My suggestion might be totaly wrong (-:

I don't think that's the one. The fake eyes look much smaller in yours.

Thanks though.

Anybody else?
