Syntomoides imaon
A handmaiden moth also called Arctiid Moth, has three golden yellow circumferential body stripes with wings having clear patches or windows between black lines.
I have found the same species on two occasions, first in Kashmir and then in Rawalpindi, Online sources don't give any account of this species in Pakistan
This wasp like appearance is an example of batesian mimicry. http://www.flickr.com/photos/itchydogima... http://www.mothsofborneo.com/part-6/synt...
