    Here is another moth which I'm clueless of its identity...

    Sorry about the size though, cos I had to re-size it to allow the upload.

    Ur third yellow moth has been ID-ed previously by Roger as Artaxa sp.

    Noctuidae, Lymantriinae, Nygmiini

    Wow, thanks for your help and kind comments sassy.

    Just wondering, what are the IDs for the other moths?

    Yes, the first moth was taken in Singapore.

    #1 is a species of Arctornis (Noctuidae, Lymantriinae, Arctonithini), though if you take a look at the Moths of Borneo website, there are rather a lot of species in the genus and many look virtually identical.

    #2 is a lappet moth of some description (Lasiocampidae), possibly in the genus Dendrolimus

    cheers, Roger.

    top one is a Scolopedes sp. (Limacodidae)
    middle one is Pingasa ruginaria (Geometridae, Geometrinae, Pingasini)
    bottom one is another tussock moth (Noctuidae, Lymantriinae, Nygmiini), from what used to be the genus Euproctis

    cheers, Roger.

    This is one of the species of Dysphania (Geometridae, Geometrinae). Be aware that there are several burnet moths (Zygaenidae: Psaphis spp.) that look rather similar to this!

    cheers, Roger.
