Erebidae, Arctiinae, Lithosiini, Cyana sp. Definitely a Cyana sp., but not Pretoria, this is a South African species. There are tons of Cyana around and all look very similar: http://www.boldsystems.org/index.php/Taxbrowser_Taxonpage?taxid=4125 http://www.flickr.com/photos/33398884@N03/5923087451/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/33443775@N00/4406129042 Could be Cyana horsfieldi: http://www.biolib.cz/en/taxonimage/id192539/ http://www.boldsystems.org/index.php/Taxbrowser_Taxonpage?taxid=224661 or Cyana catorhoda: http://www.thaibugs.com/wp-content/gallery/arctiidae-3/Cyana%20catorhoda.jpg I slightly would tend to Cyana horsfieldi without exactly knowing why, just my eyes see the best match, but I would go with Cyana sp.
