Description Had gone for an afternoon stroll with my nephews when they pointed out this Euchromia Polymena (Linnaeus), also called the Wasp Moth, under a leaf. Realised it was laying eggs after taking a closer look. If you look closely you can see the eggs on the leaf. The older boy held up the leaf for me to get clear shots. These moths look like wasps and so helps keep predators away, hence the name. The adult moths have black wings with three large orange patches and two small blue marks on each forewing, a blue head, scarlet prothorax, and bands of deep blue and of scarlet on the abdomen. Kannur, Kerala, India.
