Tetragonus catamitus, the common butterfly moth,[2] or Philippine callidulid moth,[3] is a moth of the family Callidulidae. It was first described by Carl Geyer in 1832. Noted from Taiwan, north-eastern India, south-west India, the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, Sri Lanka, the Tenasserim Hills of Myanmar and from Java.[4] They are day-flying moths that can be easily mistaken for a butterfly due to the position in which they hold their wings.
