These moths were shot during my trip to Taiwan:) Fluorite can help to ID ?

look good to me - #1 is illustrated at http://nc.kl.edu.tw/bbs/showthread.php?p=89016

#2 is a common sp throughout the region, though the ssp. is a little different as the white streak continues through the discal blotch.

cheers,

Roger.
