Dear Doctor Seow,
In addition to the interesting skipper ive shot today in the skipper post in the general forums, i also shot a few funny funny moths which i have zero clue where to start, and i require some of your advice.
1 - https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/152367108
Tribe Eupitheciini - pug moths and friends, but im not sure where to find
2 - https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/152367107
i have zero clue
3 - https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/152367126
seems to be the same as 2, but might be different
4 - https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/152367111
one of the least cooperative thing ive shot today. Doesnt bother staying still, think its a fairy moth
I've really got to buy the asia moth books one of the days...
Skipping regards

1. Calichodes subrugata.
The bidentate (double-toothed) postmedial fascia/band is characteristic & diagnostic.
