Megalopyge albicollis
A small (less than 2 inches) moth that is dark black with light yellow highlights on the back and head.
Found on the end of a cement block building under a light at 04:30 in the Amazon rainforest of SE Ecuador (700 masl).
Very pretty. I see very few of these.
Thanks bayucca. I don't see any common name anywhere online, but that looks like a good ID. I appreciate the help.
Megalopyge, Megalopyginae, Megalopyge albicollis.
