The rare specimen already shoot in rejang land wild nature.
Comment from Dr Ian J. Kitching :However, it is not an Ourapteryx but rather a member of a genus of Microniinae, a subfamily of the Uraniidae. Specifically, it is Strophidia caudata (Fabricius, 1781). Holloway (1998), in Moths of Borneo 8, says this species is rare in Borneo, with only two specimens collected recently, one in the Mulu area, the other at Danum Valley. Otherwise, the species ranges India to Peninsular Malaysia, Borneo and Sulawesi.
