I guess it is a moth cat. The length is about 3-4 cm long

It is a moth cat. I've reared a similar one before.

Right - after going through the View Page Source option on my browser I found the photo's URL.
Not a species I'm familiar with, but definitely Lymantriidae, possibly in Dasychira or Olene, though with the aposematic colouration and minitufts on the penultimate abdominal segment (A9), I'm inclined to think this is a species of Arctornis.
cheers,
Roger.
