Isanthrene perbosci
Common name would be: Perbosci Wasp Moth. Your name was from my first suggestion.
Thank you for all the research. At times to find the animals, you have to put in their place ;)
Sorry for the confusion! I thought the moth was hanging on a tree, not you ;-)...
Looking at the size of the apical black edge and the white spots, I think it is rather Perbosci than Echemon. I cancel my first guess and add Perbosci.
No sorry I don't have. I was hanging on a tree I did not have much choice in shooting
That's a tricky one! Looks close to Amber Moth, but it's not, due to the reddish antennae and the broad black apex of the forewing. It is definitely Arctiidae, Ctenuchinae. Never noticed one with red antennae.
