Chloroclystis approximata
Chloroclystis approximata LARENTIINAE GEOMETRIDAE
I covered a number of the Chloroclystis moths as listed at the end of this article, so here is another species in the same genus.The larvae of this one sometimes damage apples in the early stage of fruit development but normally live on Acacia flowers.
This one is the male, the females don't have the tufts on the fore wings.

Dichromia quinqualis HYPENINAE EREBIDAE
Was:- Dichromia quinqualis Hypeninae Noctuidae
The larval food plant is possibly Cynanchum elegans, APOCYNACEAE ( White Flowered Wax Plants).
Although we don't have any of C. elegans here, we most likely have a related plant or perhaps there
are other suitable food plants here.
