The moth is a species of Artona (near Artona hainana) - a burnet moth (Zygaenidae).

Not sure on the larva - maybe Lasiocampidae, but could also be Lymantriidae or even a Saturniid (longer odds). Did you keep it to rear?

cheers, Roger.

the moth cat looks like it's being tickled and couldn't stop laughing..

sorry, i know that's very un-scientific..
but it got me smiling (amidst a terrible headache)
