Farmland northern Thailand, 500 MASL
Attracted to a blacklight, Lymantriidae
Thanks again bayucca, looks like you put some time in here. I think also Lymantria sapaensis, also recorded from northern Thailand.
Many specimens here

Erebidae, Lymantriinae, Lymantriini, Lymantria sp., sorry, cannot tell you for sure which one it is. Very variable and sometimes quite a distinctive sexual dimorphism. Might be Ganara? Narindra? Possibly Sapaensis! Male

Checking other links (sometimes I hate this stupid new flickr!!) I might have found it nevertheless...
Looks like being Lymantria sapaensis, originally described from Vietnam and only 1998, so, quite a new species!!
