The Pale Green Awlet, Bibasis gomata lalita (Fruhstorfer)

This is a very unusually coloured skipper. If chanced upon a moist spot in the dark, it is unmistakable for its undersides have contrasting greenish-grey veins over cream-coloured streaks (internervular), giving it a rather "zebra-like" appearence. This is again contrasted by bright ochre-orange thorax and feet...Rare in pristine forests.
