    Default Two for Roger

    We seem to have been neglecting Roger recently, so here are two small moths which paid me a visit last night.

    First one (plain brown with two fasciae) is in the family Limacodidae.
    Second is in the Arctiidae (nominate subfamily).

    I'll take a look in the books later, when I've a few minutes spare.

    In the mean time take a look at the Moths of Borneo volumes (1 and 6) online to see if you can get an identification (probably to genus).

    cheers,

    Roger.

    Thank you Roger. I've had a long look and not really come up with anything concrete. The closest I can get is possibly Thosea and Lemyra species, but I am not sure!
