Moth Smoke III – Unidentified moths around the house

We have been treated to an extended northeast monsoon here in Bangalore. And every now and then I am presented with pleasant surprises. A few recent moth sightings. Identification help is greatly appreciated.

  1. Hi Bijoy,

    Moths are very difficult.

    The first and the last two seem to be Noctuidae family Catocalinae sub-family. I think the last one may be an Bastilla sp.

    Not too sure about any of them 🙂

    Regards,
    Ulhas
