Ann I think got it already... Syntherata janetta http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Syntherata_janetta

AnnvanWijgerden

Hmmm, or Tridrepana lunulata??

AnnvanWijgerden

... Or even an Emperor Moth ( Syntherata janetta )? :-\

AnnvanWijgerden

... Or is it an Imperial Moth (Eacles imperialis)?

AnnvanWijgerden

Could this be a Monkey Moth (family Eupterotidae)?
