I know this is along a trail off the beaten path here, but I didn't know where else to post it. Does anyone have any idea what this critter is?

I saw it on the Old Palace steps in Laung Prabaung, Laos.

Thanks, any input is appreciated.

Ah yes, the dreaded and much storied Yurt moth...just kidding, but doesn't the design remind you of a yurt with smoke coming out of the chimney?

Thanks to all for the input. Mister Sweetie, that's the same ID I got from another site that may be of interest to some.
