Saw this tiny pretty moth on the Dracaena plant. It is as big as a finger nail and very pretty. I googled to find that it is called Agrotera Basinotata. It is a common moth found in India apparently and feeds on the laggerstroemia species, like the Pride of India tree. I also found it on the Moths of India website. Here is the link, https://www.mothsofindia.org/agrotera-basinotata. Another moth that I spotted was in the front yard, on the floor

It looks like Zale Lunata, says google. I am not sure. Identifying moths is tricky. They have very intricate patterns on their wings, that one has to look at them closely. Even altering the image in a photo app, will chnage the light falling on the patterns which will skew the identity as well. I am not very sure of this one. Will update if I think it is wrong. Ciao.
