Could anyone assist to ID this small yellow moth (pic 1)? This comes from a cat Anthony found (pic 2), and the pupa is rather interesting looking too (pic 3)

Just found out that there is a slight typo in the name. It should be Tridrepana fulvata. There is a page of it (http://www.mothsofborneo.com/part-8/drepaninae/drepaninae_22_1.php) at the "Moth of Borneo", and quite a few pics available under Google Image search. :)

Oops, sorry!:embrass: Just checked my file for this species, and I have made this same mistake on all my photos of this species!
