Azygophleps inclusa for the white one ^Q^ ^Q^ ^Q^

The green one lokks like Geometrid but there is nothing to find, any ideas whether it could be another family?

Oh my goodness, there are Sooooo many of them! The nearest I could see was this one - Geometrid Moth (Pelagodes antiquadraria, Geometrinae) but that's Asian O/

I can not find one with the pale dorsal stripe, that's why I am asking if it is a Geometrid O/ Where else are green ones -O-

Yes, looks similar to this - Thalassodes sp. (possibly T.dissepta or T.immissaria) or Pelagodes sp. (possibly antiquadrarius)

I wish they'd indicate where the pictures were taken O/

So they do. Your guess is probably much better than mine :-)

Okay, Toko, I edited the Larrines, but did not include much info. about identification of the genus, as there were just way too many "ifs, ands, or buts" in the descriptions (this feature is present EXCEPT in the ....), etc. Please add as you see fit to both new entries. Thanks for solving this one! EXCELLENT sleuthing on your part ^Q^ ^Q^ ^Q^
