    David, I have IDs, I think, for #1 & #3. Still working on 2, 4 & 5!

    #1) Eudocima cocalus (Noctuidae) - Apparently uncommon.
    #3) Artena inversa (Noctuidae)

    Also, LC, here is ID for #1. Glyphodes caesalis (Crambidae). I did not think I would find this, but I had actually managed photos of this before here on Samui, and found its ID.

    Here is another Eudocima species, again, according to Holloway, not found very often, Eudocima discrepens. The two silver forewing marks, and green patches are distinctive of the male of the species.
