Hello everyone. I live in the UK. My cousin in the USA said someone in Indonesia found this insect on their floor but they have no clue what it is. Please can you help ID it for us. Thanks.

Insect with orange and black body
This is a male Creatonotos gangis, an arctiid moth native to southern Asia, north to Japan and east to portions of Australia. Those odd structures give off a pheromone attractive to females. For more details, see http://www.lazerhorse.org/2014/12/09/creatonotos-gangis/#
