It was 2 x moths. Sorry, it was the early days of me putting photos up on Nature Map and I thought cause they were together, it was important to note. (I would do this differently now) We found one in a bowl of water and thought it had drowned. I had been looking at it on my hand, and then it moved, so I placed it in the shad on the fence. Then, when we came back to see if it was ok, we noticed another moth. (some metres away) One of the moths was a darker colour. Apologies, for any confusion. They were beautiful moths.
Opodiphthera helena
