Harnessed Tiger Moth (8169)

Apantesis phalerata Hodges #8169
here are no 100% consistent diagnostic characteristics in wing maculation or spots/no spots on the patagia (the "collar"),
to reliably distinguish this moth from nais/carlotta/phalerata/vittata.
The only full-proof method is dissection and examination of genitalia.
