Ommatophora luminosa
Moth on the left side of image
Fruit garden
3 moths attracted to a dish of very ripe fruit I had placed in the garden
Not the same moth bayucca .. i've checked the dates and the other was a different date. Will add as a spotting though
@ 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 ?
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.

Nuwan, what about the other ones? Do you agree?
the one in the left might be Ommatophora luminosa - Erebidae, Erebinae.
Erebidae, Erebinae, Ophiusini, Grammodes geometrica (the middle one!). Formerly included in Noctuidae, Catocalinae.

The right one might be Thyas coronata, also Erebidae, Erebinae, Ophiusini. Formerly called Ophiusa coronata. Please verify!
