    The resting positions are typical of Lasiocampidae.

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

    5. The markings matched Gastropacha leopoldi well.
    This is now recorded from Malaya.

    Default ID Correction

    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...iusini_5_1.php
    http://lepidoptera.butterflyhouse.co...ato/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.
    PS2.
    A. serva showing FW 3 -dot discal mark, HW white band narrow ; HW tornal white patch obscure & brownish.

    A. janata showing FW 2-dot discal mark; Hw white band broad & tornal white patch prominent.
