Symphlebia palmeri, Bellavista, Ecuador
As a warning to others, I fell for the ID trap, wasted an hour comparing species in the Amaxia genus, which features dozens of similar yellow/orange/black moths. They look close enough to be taken serious, and when seeing a 90% match, you might be inclined to close the gap based on natural variability. As a result, many online Amaxia IDs are likely incorrect, and these incorrect IDs are copied by others.

''Symphlebia palmeri'' is a moth in the subfamily Arctiinae. It was described by Rothschild in 1910. It is found in Colombia.
