Field Notes

Description:

I know that they're wasp moths but I couldn't find the species.
I spotted both in the same area and want to know if they're the same species or if they're different since the pattern on the wings of each are different

Habitat:

Coonoor, Nilgiris, India

Species ID Suggestions

Handmaiden moth

Amata cyssea
