More moths! And more to come.

[Chequered Lancer]

Before I begin. I sincerely apologise for asking for IDs all the time. My knowledge on moths isn't that good.

I'll just use this thread to place my pictures for ID confirmations purposes. Thank you for all the IDs, well, in Advance.







Are the next two shots two separate species, or is it just sexual dimorphism?

No. 1 should be Arctornis singaporensis.

It matches the description well.

Thank you. What about the others?

Last one is probably Lymantria alexandrae.

The intensity of the black markings varies from region to region.

The 2nd is a Spodoptera species. There are 4 widespread species namely S. litura, mauritia, pecten & cilium.

The markings are variable. This appeared to match the female S. mauritia best.

The 3rd should be Endotricha olivacealis, another widespread & variable species.

This individual is very worn & most of the scales are lost, but the inner narrow band is distinctive.

Examples from HK & Korea.

Anyone know what No. 4 & 5 are or comes under which family?

They are of the superfamily Pyraloidea, probably either Pyralidae or Crambidae (I suspect the latter as they are more widespread). Superficially the two families are very similar.

They (4 & 5) are rather distinctive , but no match found.

If they are widespread or pest species, there is always a chance they (or a closely allied species) will appear on the web.
Judging from their pix on lichened tree trunks, they are forest species & probabaly restricted Sundainian forms.

Seen a few similar individuals, but never managed to shoot them... Here's one found in an urbanized area.


And here's one shot by my friend. Could it be one of the Spodopteras?
