Notes:

Not sure if there is enough here to identify this ?moth, but it was intent on hiding under the leaves so I couldn't get a clear photograph.

thanks Nuwan for your ID, yet again!
Oh thanks Sinobug. Pretty clever considering there was so little visible!
Definitely looks like a Crambid moth (family Crambidae) and based on the visible pattern and your location, I would reckon this is Pygospila tyres. http://www.flickr.com/photos/itchydogimages/7405192914/
