Nice and colorful shot of the moth... Some may mistaken it's a butterfly

Noctuidae, Agaristinae - Episteme lectrix
Please could you post full record data (time, place within Fung Yuen, if you have the data; recorder name) - this is not a common species in HK; I have only a handful of records from the last 15 years.
TIA,
cheers,
Roger.
