Yes, Handmaiden/Wasp-moth moth...Amata is as far as my knowledge goeshttp://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/535466002...I am still stumped with this one
Great spotting.
The best ID you can put down is erebidae amata sp. These tiger moths are notoriously difficult to identify from a reliable source. You will find plenty out there with names thrown on, but beware, they cannot be trusted. Better to have nothing than be wrong.
Amata huebneri is a strong contender, but, cannot be proven beyond doubt.
