Cyclosia papilionaris [Arctiinae from Koh Phiphi ?]

[wollastoni]

During my trip on Phiphi, I have met few moths in the forest. Most of them were disturbed and were not proper day-flying moths.

This Arctiinae looks like a Nyctemera but doesn't match with those on the checklist of Phuket insects.

Nyctemera coleta being the closest, but it is different.

Any idea for this beautiful Arctiinae which mimics Ideopsis Danaidae ?

First a "security" shot :

And then a closer one :

Any idea ?

That's not an Arctiini, it's a Chalcosiiinae Zygaenid, possibly Cyclosia papilionaris.

Yes it is !

Thanks for your help, Adam !

I have just found on Google, that both sexes are very different !

and their babies are lovely too !

Although they are so very different than six spot burnets but I think the antenna are still very characteristic for Zygaenidae. Really pretty these tropical Zygaenidae.
