Amata Philippinensis favorited by John B. Imus, Calabarzon, Philippines 2 hours ago

Almost all of the several picture I have taken of the wasp moth in the Philippines, especially in this area, are like this spotting. So why is it only called by geunus name. Now I have found an old drawing and description that give it a full scientific name. The frons and vertex of head is orange with a black band. The prothorax is yellow with black edges and the metathorax with an orange.patch. The abdomen has an orange basal patch and bands on six following segments. The antenne with white tips.
