Maybe the same as Lepidoptera unclassified IMMATURE moth

@donhe what do you think?

It appears to have red dorsal gland on each of the penultimate two segments, so it is probably from Lymantriinae. I do hope you can rear it to an adult moth to determine the species.

@donhe I didn’t collect it unfortunately, hopefully I can find another one when I have my bug bag with me!
