I left mine as Unknown...my knowledge of moths is maybe...a micron deep! (Likely less.)

Thanks Sukanya.
Erebidae, Arctiinae, Lithosiini likely; but how to explain suddenly Zygaenid!
I've spotted two versions of this - the other one is smaller.

This is what druenn told me:
Erebidae Arctiinae [L.] Lithosiini: sp.
Possibly a Zygaenid| Soritia [pulchella] complex - mimic
