I'm not sure if Wasp moth and tiger moth referes to the same moth

Thanks Christine and Seb, I found some references on internet and seems a Arctiidae - Tiger Moths as you mentioned

I would say it is a part of the noctuidae family and subfamily Arctiidae (tiger moths)

Beautiful! Wasp Moth would be my guess, not entirely 100% of the species ID though.
