Spilosoma strigatula
This cool looking moth had a length of approx. 3 cm / 1.2 inches.
Hills overlooking Manila.
Hi Ann, this is Spilosoma strigatula. Pls refer to Plate 3, pages 72-73, figure 5. http://www.zobodat.at/pdf/ENT_0032_0029-... - A Review of the subfamily Arctiinae (Lepidoptera: Arctiidae) from the Philippines, by Karel ČERNÝ, 2011.
I am pretty sure it is a Spilosoma sp., but I have difficulties to find a reasonable match. Is it Luteum (mostly European, but also found in Japan)? Obliqua? Again quite a variable moth.
