Cyana bellissima (I think), one of the most spectacular-looking moths I've seen.

Photo from above of a spectacularly coloured oval moth about 4-5cm long against a black background. Its wings are white, as is its head. Legs are black with two white bands near the body. There is one fine red stripe just behind the head, and four wider red stripes across the body, spaced further apart. The wings have two black spots in the middle on each side, the lower one with a dark line extending towards the tip of the wing, which has a broad buff stripe. The body is not visible here.
