Notodontidae, Phalerinae: Looks like two faces on this moth. I've never seen a moth with a "Frown" (lower real head) and a "Smiley Face" (in thorax fur) at the same time! Not noticed the thorax pattern before. See Album: Small Families 2

Erebidae, Lymantriinae Wingspan: 46mm. "The Stare" - Sometimes moths eyes light up, but this one certainly is intense. Strangely only one other insect which came in at the group trapping event here reflected light at all. See Album: Small Families 2
