Tristeirometa bostryx
Tristeirometa bostryx - Mount Kinabalu National Park, Malaysia
Its difficult to ID this little moth down to species level, but I think its a male Tristeirometa bostryx. If I am correct then this little moth is endemic to montane regions of Borneo, which makes sense based on where i found it, the montane humid forests of Borneos highest mountain--Gunung Kinabalu. It could potentially also be Tristeirometa bathylima, a rare species endemic to just Gunung Kinabalu but which to me, a non-expert, looks indistinguishable from T. bostryx. This moth belongs to the tribe Trichopterygini which reaches its highest level of diversity in Borneo with 43 species. Anyhow I didn't know any of this when I photographed it, I just liked its green coloration and thought it was pretty.
