Moth from AH

[Yong San]

Any help on ID is very much appreciated. Thanks.

That's an interesting one. About how big is the wingspan?

At a glance, the markings remind me of a species of butterfly, Euthalia anosia bunaya.

About how big is the wingspan?

I am not sure, guess like the size of Common Birdwing.

Wah... that's a big bugger...

This is a species of Hypopyra (Noctuidae, Catocalinae).

I would say around 10cm wingspan is more realistic!

Yong San, did you see the colour of the ventral wing surface?
If you did it would have been either red or yellow.

If red, then this is Hypopyra vespertilio; if yellow then H. ossigera.

cheers,

Roger.

Anyway, thank you for the ID.
