Cool Maiden
Yes, that is actually its name! A member of a group of day flying moths known as 'Handmaidens'. They are slow flying with large narrow fore-wings and reduced hind wings. The wings have clear spots and patches.
As is often the case, I was looking for something else and came across this real gem.

''Amata kuhlweini'' is a moth of the Arctiidae family. It was described by Lefèbvre in 1832. It is found in South Africa and Tanzania.
