Author's notes

This looks like the same species as Sighting 4203712, but it was a different individual, taken before the other moth pupated.

I'm thinking this one is Ectropis excursaria and the other is Ectropis bispinaria, but not certain

I agree 420/3712 looks like E. bispinaria - given the apparent tick marks evident along the main hindwing line, but I'm not sure we can do better than Ectropis sp. for this one.
