Hi Teo,
The second moth is a different species. Need to search to find out what as I've not seen it before.
back in the next day or two on this one.

The second one is a bit of a mystery.
Definitely Geometridae, and the hindwing is typical of Hemitheini in Geometrinae. However, having been through all the Ennomines and Geometrines in Moths of Borneo, and the Intro to Moths of S.E.Asia, I've drawn a blank. :(
I cant even be sure this is Geometrinae.
cheers, Roger.
