This insect is called the wasp moth because it resembles a wasp in shape, but we are also often mistaken for a butterfly. Because it is almost identical to both. This insect is definitely a moth with orange and black stripes and two wings on the left and right. This insect also flies like a wasp and perches on plants. Its Latin name is Amata huebneri.
