A Moth

Last week, as I reached home late evening after it was quite dark, I found a large moth outside the window of my home. The insect measured about 3 inches from one end to the other. I wish someone can help me find it's name.

  2. Hello Jeevan.
    My name is Almas and I came across your blog while googling for the Clinical Establishment Act. You have written a great piece on that topic. I think you are doing a commendable job by working in the hard areas of Jharkhand.. :) I am really considering doing my thesis on the Ranchi Tribal population in my UT, the Ranchi tribals are basically from the Chhotanagpur area..... Besides, I did my MBBS and am currently doing my post grad in Public health- both in Kerala... So, all this combined really gets me interested in your blog :) Do keep writing!...

    As for the moth.... lol! I don't know it's name, but, I think it's beautiful! :)
