Arctiid moth

Nepita conferta is one of the most common species of arctiid in southern India, but not sure about Sri Lanka. But there are many color variations in Nepita Conferta I observed, so I'm Most positive that it is Nepita conferta.

Wikipedia says "genus consists of only one species, Nepita conferta"
so i think mine is also Nepita conferta

good point bayucca, let's say it's Nepita sp. for now :)

BTW: what about the black "knees" in this one??

Great spotting! I would confirm Arctiidae and Nepita sp., but I would not dare to confirm Nepita conferta 100%, just because I do not know this genus/species enough. But I agree, that they look very similar!
And it is definitely not Amphicallia sp., this is from Africa.

Same as Chief's spotting except that the Amphicallia genus seems to be African moths.
