EREBIDAE, AGANAINAE
(Snouted Tiger Moths)
The Aganainae are a small subfamily of moths in the Erebidae family. The adults and caterpillars of this subfamily are typically large and brightly colored, like the related tiger moths. They are most easily recognized by the typical wing shape, the usually bright colours and the large porrected palpae (snout). Many of the caterpillars feed on poisonous host plants and acquire toxic cardenolides that make them unpleasant to predators. Like the closely related litter moths, the adults have long, upturned labial palps, and the caterpillars have fully or mostly developed prolegs on the abdomen. - wikipedia
