Cheers!

You must have visited in May!

upper one is Dysphania militaris (False Tiger Moth), the lower one is Obeidia tigrata (Orange Magpie Moth). Both are looper moths, in the family Geometridae.

cheers, Roger.

Actually he visited only recently, these were taken only a couple of days ago (at either Pak Tam Chung or Shing Mun Country Park, can't remember where we saw them)!

Thanks Roger for the IDs. The Orange Magpie Moth was taken at the Peak (太平山) and the False Tiger Moth was taken at Shing Mun (盛门) Country Park. There are many of them hidden under the leaf.

Cheers!
