TNX @Jolly. I knew that the is needed condition for the amata genus, but I don't knew was enought condition. Is it?

This is amata wasp moth probably amata nigriceps. This could be confirmed if you have a shot with complete antennae. Amata nigriceps have white tipped antennae. Take a look here: http://www.brisbaneinsects.com/brisbane_tigermoths/OrangeSpotted2.htm
