Hi Tom . I am afraid I do not know much about African moths, but your first six images seem very similar to those European Lasiocampidae or Eggar moths as we call them. However, I am the first to admit I am on rather thin ground here.
Regards Peter.

No 1, 2, 3, & 4 are: Lechriolepis pulchra all males.
No 5 & 6 are: Lechriolepis conjuncta a female.
No 7 & 8 is a female Calliodes. I have seen this creature but cannot remember where. Could be C. appollina??
No 9 & 10 is a UFO to me.............

7-8 Erebus macrops 9-10 Achaea (Heliophisma) catocalina (Holland, 1894) I thought the eyed Noctuid was familiar, it seems we have the same species here in Thailand, except I know it by the old name Patula macrops. Adam. |

Thank you all! Are there any specific resources that can be recommended for IDing African moths?
