Hi Scott - mariapuravida's photo was taken just meters away from where we saw this one. I knew I'd seen a photo of it somewhere before!
You're welcome Manuel. Alas another very close, but with no ID to help us! http://mariapuravida.wordpress.com/autho...
This is a wasp moth (Arctiidae) that looks like the same (un-named) genus as this http://www.pbase.com/image/134106403 rather than the genus Cosmosoma (for example, http://www.whatsthatbug.com/2010/07/12/w... )
