Dr Seow, Thanks so much for your ids. Appreciate them. Cheers, SL Liew

1) My apologies - I have duplicated a Hasora link as #4 and #6 are of same link.
The photos are taken from a few videos of at same time/location as there were 2 or more similar looking Hasora.

I just posted the 4 videos in a Facebook group for your viewing if interested.

2) Noted the corrections of ids of May 1st Notocrypta.

Here are some museum specimens of H. zoma and lizetta for comparison.

Old specimens darken with time so they seem even more similar.

Hasora zoma.
