While our main focus is herp, who would pass up the opportunity to photograph such a big and beautiful moth. My guest and I spotted this at the highland of Pahang - Erebus macrops, Peninsular Malaysia.

Lovely! The Erebus moth has striking scalloping along the wing margin. I have not seen that before.
