#1 = Argina astrea (Arctiidae, Arctiinae)

#2 = Asota sp. (Noctuidae, Aganainae) - would need to see the pattern on the hindwing to get the species identification.

cheers,

Roger.

like the Argina astrea shot, very beautiful!

I've e-mailed a specialist in the aganaids based in the Netherlands. I think that Asota subsimilis fits the bill, but I'm not familiar with the species and hope that this tentative identification can be confirmed by the Dutch specialist.

Will keep you posted.

cheers,

Roger.

Asota subsimilis is confirmed as probably the correct name for this species
