Amerila affinis
bayucca thank you for the id, found it in the bird barth this morning but it was stil living, and flu of after drying.
Not worn, but old pinned specimen, so colors are almost gone. Take mine, it almost fresh out of the fridge ;-))...
I agree with you, though the wing veins look different, but that may be because the individual I am looking at as Amerila affinis is a worn specimen: http://www.africanmoths.com/pages/ARCTII...
Yours has more spots than Amasis which has also some stripes. Veins are also different. In my eyes it is amerila affinis. What do you guys think??

Looking into this more, I've noticed it appears more to be Amerila sp.
Rhodogastria amasis tends to have two vertical stripes on the head.

I think it is Tri-coloured Tiger (Rhodogastria amasis), but let's wait for confirmation from Bayucca!
