This moth, first time for me, was spotted at Karzi-Mangnam, West Sikkim, one of the remotest villages in our state. I'd taken my family to show them how does it feel like reaching there (adventurous roads, first road came in 2004), living there and experiencing their lives.
The trip indeed was fruitful, despite the back-breaking journey, I managed to photograph some extraordinary moths, like this one.

Found by @corndog in snowmelt area on Mt. Shasta on dead conifer wood in early June. I took the specimen home and rehydrated them. First photo is as found in situ. Remaining photos are of rehydrated fruiting bodies two months later.
