I have no idea what this beasty is

[JBW]

I saw whatever this is on one of our glass walls before breakfast and hence before coffee. I would have like to get in closer but it just wasn't possible. Does anyone have any idea what this may be other than a Star wars extra? For the record it is about one inch long and hasn't moved in the last 4 hours.

A Parasa Moth?

Looks like they usually have a bit more green though:

I'm don't know anything about moths, I was just doing some google searching while half listening to a conference call.

I am unfamiliar with the fauna of tge Phillipines, but if I saw this in the UK I would say it was a Prominent Moth. Most of these have the prominent 'hump' at the rear. Having said that, some of the Owlet (or Noctuid) moths also have the hump!

I looked but couldn't find any with the green highlights and folded wings
