Here's a strange looking moth (at least it looks like a moth!) for the experts to ID.
The 2nd one is quite small, about only 1 cm wingspan. Interesting green colours on the wings.

hmm... where're the antannae?
NEO Chee Beng
Tucked underneath the wings. You can just see a bit of the antenna just curving downwards below the wings.
the top one looks like Monobolodes pernigrata (Warren)
Epiplemidae
it's range : India,
The red and yellow species looks as if it should be in the very diverse genus Chrysocraspeda, Geometridae, Sterrhinae. This species is not one of the 30 Chrysocraspeda illustrated in the Moths of Borneo series.
cheers,
