On the 5th of June 2011, a friend of mine went to Sungai Kenyam for a three-day-two-night beetle-collecting trip during which he collected a fair amount of leps for me. Most of them I could identify, but there were also a few which were somewhat new to me and I'm hoping you guys will be able to help out. This first specimen is a Pingasa Sp. Attachments:

Why you brush off all the scales of the wings ? That sure does not help to ID the moths ...

They're a bit rough because my friend who doesn't know much about lep-collecting simply hand-caught them. He used a killing jar with some sort of poison which killed off anything within in seconds. |

If you can't manage to get any sort of poison just take forceps and press their bodies until they are dead. I got stuff from collectors that only pinch moths by hand and they are of far better quality than the moth above this post ( not the Pingasa, that one looks acceptable).

Oh, you were referring to that one! That one is actually like that. Its see-through with a single dark brown border. Its quite a common Pyralid. I just never collected one till now. |
