    You found some interesting species. How large was the first moth (post 1)? Looks quite beautiful.

    Ids, as far as I can!
    Post 1:
    1) Dysphania sp.(Geometridae) Markings are as D. subrepleta, but the brown ground colour should be much darker, near black.
    2) Spirana helicina - Erebidae:Catocalinae
    3) Crambidae sp. - Many very similar sp. I still have this as unidentified.
    4) Syntominae sp.
    5) Crambidae sp. I know I have seen this somewhere, but I can not find it!
    6) No idea
    7) As above

    Post 2:
    1) No idea
    2) Cnaphalocrocis limbalis - Crambidae:Spilomelinae
    3) Asota egens - Erebidae:Aganainae

    Post 3:
    1) Crambidae sp.
    2) Geometridae sp.
    3) No idea
    4) Prophantis sp. - Crambidae:Spilomelinae. Several very simlar sp. in this genus.

    Post 4:
    No idea.

    Post 7:
    Arctornis sp. - Erebidae:Arctiinae. Again many very similar species.

    Sorry, this is the best I can do!
