@Hejor1 : That looks unlike any of the 15 Anthela species larval photos that have been published. I hope you can rear it to an adult moth to determine the species.

@donhe I went back today and found one, I'll take better pics and see if I can rear it. Same double yellow spots with black tufts, same number of legs, same orange face.
