Found this guy while seaching for the hoary palmer today.
Looks a bit like a plain banded awl to me. ( h. vitta ) Uncle Seow, what do you think?:thinking:

Yes it is the Plain Banded Awl Hasora vitta.
Notice there is a hyaline spot on the forewing (in space 6).
Always check to see that this spot is present.

There is a species called the Siamese Awl H. proxissima, with a whte band but without this spot.
It is known from Thailand all the way to the Solomon Islands, but have never been recorded in our area.

PS. Here is the Siamese Awl. Band width variable.
