Amazing colours and patterns on this moth... Love the red hearts! Guess you are in Equador. I'm jealous! Equador was possibly my favourite of the Sth American countries I visited. I loved Cuyabeno, north of your post, in the jungle...

Arctiidae, Lithosiinae, Prepiella aurea. Sorry, no electronic reference, I forgot my laptop with all my reference libraries.
