Help with ID

[zzy]

Hi,

I need some help with the ID of the 5 following moths. Thanks in advance for your kind help!

Hi Zhao ,

It would be much easier for our moth expert to attach a name to each if you can number each of them.


Cheers!

Hi Sunny,

Thx for the suggestion. I've tried to reattach the files but they appear the same and I can't seem to label them.

While I try to figure out how to properly label my photos, perhaps I could use describe each of them instead:

1. Moth on white wall
2. Moth resting on black fabric
3. Moth resting on wood
4. Moth resting on leaf
5. Moth on a hand

Sorry about that.

You could also post one species per thread, then no potential confusion between photos...
Background descriptions are sufficiently adequate for these, though

1. Moth on white wall - Geometridae, Ennominae: Biston sp.
2. Moth resting on black fabric - Lasiocampidae: probably Dendrolimus sp. or Kunugia sp.
3. Moth resting on wood - Erebidae, Aganainae: Asota plana
4. Moth resting on leaf - Sphingidae, Smerinthinae, Ambulycini - Ambulyx moorei
5. Moth on a hand - another Lasiocampidae: Odonestis angulata

cheers, Roger.
