I don't do moths, sorry Roger, I'll have to leave them for you!

However, No3 is a butterfly. It is Odontoptilum pygela pygela (The Banded Angle). Nice one, haven't seen one of those yet! Not sure if its needed for the full Db, SC.

Just check the antennae. Definate Hesperid!

Bit stumped by #1. Initial thoughts were of Dysphania, but the barring in the terminal zone is most atypical. There is an ennomine genus (Bracca) that also has this colour combination, but lacks the transverse fascia and open discal spot. Hmm. I still think it's a geometrid, but I'm not totally sure.

#2 is a lovely shot of something I've seen just once in Hong Kong - Nevrina procopia (Crambidae, Spilomelinae) - illustrated on plate 32 of Robinson, Tuck & Shaffer's "A Field Guide to the Smaller Moths of South-East Asia" (a book every field Lepidopterist in Singapore with the remotest interest in moths should try and obtain - disclaimer: I have no commercial link to the authors)

#3 - sorted already!

cheers,

Roger.

Thanks Roger.

Right then, as is usually the case, I'm leafing through a book looking for something (in this case the Noctuids of Thailand looking for hypenines) completely off-topic, so one would think, and on plate 42 (the plate prior to addenda with lots of hypenines) I found a perfect match for #1.
So not a geometrid after all! (and as fans of The Hitch-hiker's Guide to the Galaxy (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Hitchhiker's_Guide_to_the_Galaxy) know, 42=the answer to life, the universe and everything!!)

the low down:
Noctuidae
Agaristinae
Longicella mollis (Walker, 1856)
from Thailand, the Malay peninsula (type locality = Malacca), Sumatra and Borneo.
ref. Kononenko, V.S. & Pinratana, A. (2005). Moths of Thailand volume 3 Noctuidae. Brothers of St. Gabriel in Thailand. Bangkok.
Also illustrated on the Moths of Borneo (http://www.mothsofborneo.com/part-12/agaristinae/agaristinae_3_1.php) website.

cheers,

Roger.
