I have enjoyed a one week trip in few Central and North Malaysian locations with my friend and member Lc Goh. We found many moths mostly in this wonderful location on Gunung Jerai (Kedah), but from Fraser's Hill and Gopeng too:

2, Amblychia hymenaria is right.
5. Theretra latreillii is right. T. boisduvalii lacks the abdominal lines.

The resting positions are typical of Lasiocampidae.

5. A Gastropacha species. Several very similar species.
6. Looks like Takanea diehlei.

Post 4 No. 3.

This is correctly Achaea serva.
The markings varies a fair bit.
The ID point is the FW discal mark.

A. serva : FW discal mark 3 black dots forming a trinagle.

A. janata. : FW discal mark 2 black dots.

A. eusciasta : FW discal mark a dot & a large oval/oblong spot (actually comprise 3 dots & dark shading).

http://www.mothsofborneo.com/part-15-16/ophiusini/ophiusini_5_1.php
http://lepidoptera.butterflyhouse.com.au/cato/serva.html
I can't remember. Was A. serva the name you gave?

TL Seow:cheers
PS. Further check shows the above features are subjected to much variations, but a strong 3 dots is very suggestive of A. serva.

A. serva showing FW 3 -dot discal mark, HW white band narrow ; HW tornal white patch obscure & brownish.
