Clethrogyna turbata
Accordingly to The Moths of Borneo (http://www.mothsofborneo.com/part-5/orgy...), the female is flightless, with vestigial wings. Their cocoon is interestingly, full of potholes. Here is such cocoon I spotted on 130728: http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/346...
Found this newly eclosed tussock moth on Chinese arborvitae around 1.30 pm. I've seen caterpillars of this moth often on all sorts of plants; and at times, concrete walls.

Those black lumps on it's back are very strange.
