This was sent to me from Pokhara, Nepal (28.22 N, 83.96 E). Sessiidae?

I think Amata sp. (Arctiidae, Syntominae)
While others can't climb, using infinite pains, I, gravity turning to jest, Ascend, with all ease, perpendicular planes, Rough or smooth, just as pleases me best. |

Thanks. Much better match. I could see the wing veins didn't match Sessiidae well but the "clearwing" moths in North America are mostly in that family. |
