Wow... looks like Odina heiroglyphica ortina at a glance eh?

See that sad face on the thorax of the moth? :-( Like a sad-looking big eared monkey.

Listed and illustrated as Miltochrista euprepioides (Arctiidae, Lithosiinae) in An Introduction to the Moths of South East Asia (Barlow, H.S., 1982; Malayan Nature Soc.). Now placed in the genus Barsine (see Moths of Borneo, part 7 (http://www.mothsofborneo.com/part-7/nudariini/nudariini_8_7.php)).

As to the "face" on the thorax - looks very like a wasp (genus Vespa) to me!

cheers,

Roger.
