I attach the adult and its larva.
Was this found in Ghana? Looks like a Alpenus species., possibly Alpenus maculosa.

Alpenus species
Yes, is Alpenus maculosa (Lepidoptera: Arctiidae)
Alpenus maculosa (Stoll in Cramer, 1781) (Lepidoptera: Erebidae: Arctiinae).
Most likely Alpenus spp. Erebidae family .
Thanks for all your contribution. That is exactly what I was looking for.
I am working on the protocol of preserving lepidopterans for DNA analysis.

This larva was captured using a plankton net in the Persian Gulf during the summer. I believe it may be a Facetotecta nauplius.
