Hi doctor Seow,

Ive shot a few other moths since they kind of flutter around as butterflies as well, and i challenge myself making some IDs here. I would like to seek ur advice, but shall u think its insufficient, i am more than happy to have it left as a genus ID, since i dont think i will be dissecting moths anytime soon. My reference are generally singapore publish articles and inat links, since i lack any moth reference book, which i will be buying soon(if you can recommend any titles i would appreciate it!). I refer to inat as well, even though the species suggestion isnt the best its at least a effort i can carry out

1 - Prosopandrophila distincta. My ID reach this conclusion base on a few past documents, such as https://lkcnhm.nus.edu.sg/app/upload...nis385-392.pdf and general ID on inaturalist. The caterpillar in the general ID observation feeds on the same plant as the pdf attach, which i induce which is why it is the species i suggested. Since i lack any of the moths reference books, this is my best attempt as such, from comparing pictures of physical specimens. This specimen is about the size of a general bushbrown, shot at seletar area

2 - Cyclosia macularia. This specimen was likely ran over by a bicycle at sembawang PCN, and was dead. I suspect the yellow stuff poking out are her eggs(how sad! she didnt manage to complete her lifecycle purpose). The glossy reflection of the wing scale is a nice colouration however, even in death. I refer to https://lkcnhm.nus.edu.sg/wp-content...nis151-158.pdf as my reference and general inat link

3 - pseudosesia species. I couldnt find any information about pseudosesia species in Singapore, and i use to think they are part of the burnet moth family until i found out they are from Sesiidae family. Ive concluded these two fine specimen are males due to the coremata in one of the observation. I have shot a pseudosesia in the past before i am extremely interested in bugs, so i added a old photo of a potential female ive shot, which was also in the same area. A interesting note is that they seem to always appear at leea indica patches for the nectars and appears to also just rest around the area in general. However, i cant find any online articles about their lifecycle, and the australia article https://www.researchgate.net/publica...acific_Islands here, i am afraid it might be irrelevant
