    Review 89-90.
    Arctornis very likely A. submarginata.
    A. semihyalina have brown unspotted foreleg whereas pix 90 shows a spotted foreleg.

    The FW markings is identical to this below in which part of the frons & palps can be seen .Pix 89 shows a bit of dark brown at the front end.

    The blackish brown frons & brown palps are distinctive.

    If you do get to shoot another Arctornis ,try to get a frontal shot.
    Many ID marks are based on the markings of the frons(forehead), palps, & forelegs.
    The usual shot have the head bend down in making these invisible.


    TL Seow: Cheers.
