Any ideas?

Be really careful, these can kill you with a single flap of their wings.

No idea, but that is amazing!

Shame it's not a better picture.

Thanks for sharing!

The name is Cyana bellissima, a moth of the Erebidae, Arctinae. You can check on Google for more info

More likely, from the strength and uniformity of the red colour, this is a female (two dots, male has three) Cyana determinata - Red-striped tiger moth.

My mistake. Pic not so clear and small laptop lol.

Fabulous collection! We had an explosion of butterflies and dragonflies up here in Pai this season. Thanks for sharing.

I too was amazed when I first saw this particular moth. Wasn't around very long, don't know what happened to it.
