Agoma trimenii
App 250 mm wingspan. Orange hindwings and "pom-poms" on the legs. Found some similareties with Agoma trimenii, but antennae and Thorax look different to me...
Found in the dark due to eyes reflecting to my head-lamp. Bushcamp / forrest. Sitting on dry/dead grass a few dm from the ground.
At least you did not need to count the black spots ;-)...
Always a pleasure to help!
Now I go dreaming and you counting the golden spots, OK...
Bay, I thought that the upper black markings on thorax filled with orange was different to the pictures I managed to find. But after some more research I have seen more examples of this as well as grey antennaes with a black tip.
Fanie and Bayucca! Thank you once again! I hope that you know that I really appreciate your efforts! Time for an ID on this one :)
Thanks for confirmation, Fanie. For me the ID was OK as well.
Fanie, any thoughts about that one:

Actually no, I think antennae and thorax look finr for me. Please, remember, in museum or collection specimen, these structures might be different looking. Why do you think they are different? Shape, color?
Bay, Since you dont really read things, I will copy/past the text in the description for you " Found some similareties with Agoma trimenii, but antennae and Thorax look different to me..." Dont you think that the antennae and thorax looks different?
Noctuidae, Agaristinae, Agoma trimenii.
