Lovely drawer bill ! Although Eochroa are beautifully colored my personal favorites (although lacking in color) are the Eustera long-tails and of coarse that wonderful Antistathmoptera male which you possess. The extreme wing shape of moon moths has always grabbed me regardless of their often cryptic colored wings.
Furthermore, getting clean un-damaged examples of the above mentioned genera is quite problematic and then of coarse there is the matter of spreading said items without trashing those elegant tails in some way. Bravo to you on your nice examples.
I'm also ever curious as to the purpose of those small squares of cork pinned 3 or 4 to a drawer. Is it there to absorb something or has it been treated with something it releases over time?

I think the corks have cedar oil on them to keep pests away.
