Do you have a basis for identifying this as Urocoma marginalis?

@ibaird not at all - this is AI guess rather than my own so could be way off.

I agree the two orange dorsal organs on the antepenultimate segments suggest Lymantriinae, but I do not recognise the other markings. Please @Hejor1: can you rear it in captivity to an adult moth for further identification?
