It is actually the same moth and spotting as this one.

Please, do not post the same spotting twice, especially if you already have gotten an ID of it. IDing is sometimes quite time consuming!

Looks very close to Attacus atlas, but body colors and markings and the yellow stripe do not fit perfectly. Do you have any other shot?

I just edit the location

Before we get an ID we need the exact location!! Please, check your spot! It's in the middle of the Javaen Sea, so it is not a Rothschild Moth.
