Here is another moth which I'm clueless of its identity...
Sorry about the size though, cos I had to re-size it to allow the upload.![]()
Colourful, puddling moth is Psaphis euschemoides, but i'm not sure of the ssp.

#1 is a species of Arctornis (Noctuidae, Lymantriinae, Arctonithini), though if you take a look at the Moths of Borneo website, there are rather a lot of species in the genus and many look virtually identical.
#2 is a lappet moth of some description (Lasiocampidae), possibly in the genus Dendrolimus
cheers, Roger.

Thanks so much for the prompt reply hkmoths!![]()
I forgot to post 1 more photo here. I can't seem to ID it too.
Thank you all in advance again. Really appreciate the kind help.![]()
This is one of the species of Dysphania (Geometridae, Geometrinae). Be aware that there are several burnet moths (Zygaenidae: Psaphis spp.) that look rather similar to this!
cheers, Roger.
