Adults are black with yellow bands across the abdomen, and transparent windows in the wings. It is a wasp mimic. The larvae have been recorded feeding on Oryza sativa, Mikania micrantha, Oxalis barrelieri and Ipomoea batatas. Wikipedia →

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Hübner's Wasp Moth is recorded against all the insects logged in Tasikmalaya (36 verified sightings), calibrated against known sighting rates. Figures are rounded to the nearest 10% because citizen-science data supports honest approximations, not decimals, and months with records from fewer than five people show "—". How it works.
