Fantastic! Choristostigma sp., likely C. perpulchralis or C. roseopennalis

Thank you TKBotting for the ID suggestion. It really looks like a Pink-Bordered Yellow Moth. I couldn't find an exact match, it may be a variation.

This looks a lot like a 'Pink Bordered Yellow Moth", but the pink pattern looks really defined.... could it be a variation, or perhaps just freshly emerged? Nice picture!
