This was taken at MF. Not sure of the specie.
Hope I got the first one right.

Hi Richard,

These are Utetheisa lotrix (Arctiidae, Arctiinae, Utetheisini) and Spodoptera picta (Noctuidae, Hadeninae).

see my website for identification of the common Asian Utetheisa (http://asia.geocities.com/hkmoths/noc/arc/ute_lotr.htm) species.

cheers,

Roger.
