Thank you for information bayucca, Nuwan and Ursula!
Ursula
This one is similar in shape as the one I spotted the other night, only it doesn't have the same colour. Is it possible then that it derives from the same genus?

More likely Brunia nebulifera http://www.jpmoth.org/~dmoth/Digital_Moths_of_Asia/90_NOCTUOIDEA/02_EREBIDAE/02_ARCTIINAE/04_Lithosiinae/17_Brunia/Brunia%20nebulifera/Brunia%20nebulifera.htm

Brunia sarawaka??? Absolutely not sure about the species. And there is almost no info about Brunia sp., I might be wrong. Maybe Nuwan could help...
