Try False Crocus Geometer
Xanthotype rufaria or Xanthotype urticaria

I have been told that the exact species is hard to tell from photos so you might have to settle for knowing the species. I'm no expert so someone else please respond.

I always liked these as a kid. A yellow moth that flies like a butterfly and you can see them during the day time.
