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.

Post 1 No. 4 & 5. No. 4 is rather worn - note loss of cilia.

Here is one taken in Taiwan. Note all the markings & their positions matched. Intensity & colour tone will always varies.
