Aloa lactinea
Nocturnal.
I'm new with moths and didn't know that was Dr. Roger C. Kendrick who was confirming this spotting, that's way cool. Thanks for pointing that out, bayucca!
Confirmed by the Master himself, that's cool!!! I was still thinking about this different body colors and markings. But I am happy that I was with my guess not completely out of the row ;-)...
Aloa lactinea confirmed by Roger Kendrick (PARUPAROZZIS: Butterfly Watchers Philippines). BTW, looks like Photos 1&2 are the same so either can be deleted.
Arctiidae/Tiger Moth. Very similar to Amsacta sp., Amsacta lactinea. There are obviously some name changes in this group. Amsacta is now Aloa and some of the Australian ones are now Paramsacta.
Actually I am not 100% sure about Lactinea, if you google some you might see the differences in body colors. However, Aloa is safe.
