Moth Pictures to share - Not sure ID

[steplim]

Hello

I have taken below closeup shot of a Moth. Comments and Critics please.

i.d. = Asota heliconia (Noctuidae, Aganainae)

if you've not done moths much, it usually helps to frame the whole insect if you're wanting an identification.

This looks a little underexposed - I guess you used a small aperture (large f stop) to get the depth of field (which might mean you have camera shake problems with long exposure times). Otherwise, not at all bad!

cheers,

Roger.

Thanks hkmoths for your ID and comments.

This was a tricky shot as the moth was actually overhead. Inorder to counter the risk of overexposure of the sky, I have to use full flash instead of fill flash where I normally do. This was shot on tripod at f/16, 1/6s, ISO400.

to tag on to this thread, i've shot this moth when i was in north eastern Thailand last dec.

it looks similar to the one that steplim has posted.

please kindly help and see if you can ID it?

thanks a million, Rogar.
