Nice find Christian! This moth looks like a Tussock Moth from Genus Dasychira. I believe this could be a Yellow-based Tussock Moth, Dasychira basiflava Here are a couple of links for you to peruse. These moths have a lot of variety in color but there are some that look very similar to yours: http://mothphotographersgroup.msstate.edu/species.php?hodges=8296 http://bugguide.net/node/view/30294 See what you think!
