Rare day-flying moth sighted in Uttarakhand after over 125 years

Achelura bifasciata, a rare day-flying moth, was spotted recently in Uttarakhand's Garhwal. Sanjay Sondhi, a trustee of nature conservation organisation Titli Trust, said, "There are old records of the insect to have been spotted in Nainital by GF Hampson, a Britisher, who had compiled a book on moths in 1893." The moths were spotted in large numbers.
