Not the same moth bayucca .. i've checked the dates and the other was a different date. Will add as a spotting though
bayucca
Yes, take the other one as #1 and this one again as #2 in a separate spotting.

@ bayucca .. I do have one other photo which could be the same moth but only the underside of the wings which are orange in colour? Should I add it as a separate spotting ?
bayucca
:-))! Thanks, Nuwan! Nice teamwork!

Ommatophora luminosa looks indeed good for me, but I do not have the time to check the ranges or other ones from the same genus. https://www.flickr.com/photos/gancw1/3708800817/ http://www.inaturalist.org/observations/319185 Nuwan, what about the other ones? Do you agree?

the one in the left might be Ommatophora luminosa - Erebidae, Erebinae.
bayucca
Erebidae, Erebinae, Ophiusini, Grammodes geometrica (the middle one!). Formerly included in Noctuidae, Catocalinae. http://www.boldsystems.org/index.php/Taxbrowser_Taxonpage?taxid=154969 The right one might be Thyas coronata, also Erebidae, Erebinae, Ophiusini. Formerly called Ophiusa coronata. Please verify! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thyas_coronata Do you have a closer picture of #1, the one in the left??
