A big moth with a massive body and an unusual pattern:

Lasiocampid moth caterpillar
both from Khao Sok National Park.
I do not wish to hijack your thread, but last Wednesday I came across a very close relative, Xyleutes ceramica - Cossidae.
At Khao Phanom Bencha National Park, 15 March 2013. Any input appreciated
Noctuidae Moth - Euplocia membliaria (male) , Thanks to Les for the ID
