Moths from a Malaysian trip
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:
Longicella mollis (Agarastinae) - Ipoh
Amblychia hymenaria - Gopeng
Cyclidia orciferaria, Drepanidae - Gopeng
Ambulyx moorei - Jerai
Theretra latreillii (or boisduvalii?) - Jerai

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.
