    Some species of Noctuidae, probably in the subfamily Noctuinae or Hadeninae. At a longshot, I'd guess at something like a Spodoptera sp. Not really confident of this though.

    cheers,

    Roger.

    Spodoptera litura

    Noctuidae, Xyleninae (the higher taxonomy has changed since the last post!)

    cheers, Roger.
