perhaps Ardices glatignyi ?? Black and White Tiger Moth

Bit of a stretch, as forewing black submarginal line usually nearly straight in A. glatignyi, unlike this moth, but it is very variable, sometimes with extra black markings which could merge into a zigzag line maybe.

I don't think this is A. glatygnyi. but I'm yet to make a better suggestion.

Photo shows cocoon next to it, so newly emerged, right at base of a light pole.
