It is not Trigonophora, which is an Australian species and probably not found in Indonesia. Amata is one of the trickiest genus around, so ID might be not possible. Please, look carefully at the color of the head and head parts, exact location of yellow spots and bands and spots on the wings, which cannot be seen clearely. Do you have another picture of the whoe wing?
Thx for the suggestion. I already check the internet and it very similar with Amata trigonophora, but i not sure, so I just put Amata sp.
I agree with bayucca, please verify the ID ;)
I think this might be an Amata sp., Arctiidae/Tiger Moth.
Parece polilla familia Sesiidae
