Genus Miltochrista

Well I was getting a little bit of problem trying to find the name of this species. Despite its beautiful appearance it seems that there has not been much info about this species so far online.

As far as I can search the suggestion that I get is that this little bautiful moth is a species from the Genus Miltochrista. Although there has been another sugesstion that lead me to Genus Lychene, but then I found out that this taxon has been not active and has been diverted to Genus Miltochrista.

Despite the name confusion, the moth it sems is so beautiful, with yellow base and some black stripes and dots can also be seen on its body.

Like most of the moth, they are nocturnal, and when I found this little guy, it seemed that it was sleeping as well, as I took the photos during the day time.

I like the mottled coloration of this insect. It looks like leopard skin.
