Orgyia osseata Walker, 1862
Orgyia osseata Walker, 1862; J. Proc. Linn. Soc. (Zool.) 6: 125; TL: Sarawak. Text at https://archive.org/details/journalofproceed06linn/page/125/mode/1up

Similar extralimital species: Orgyia araea (Collenette, 1932)
UK: Agree with the ID
GI: In almost all references quoted above, it is suggested that this being a highly variable species, the geniitalia structure ultimately separates this species from other closely related ones. to quote form Novtates Zoologicae " The male of this species is very variable. Some specimens are only with difficulty separated from the next species (q.v.), and its relationships have entailed the making of many genitalia slides and much careful comparison" iNaturalist upload is not a research grade one. So it may be Orgyia osseata Walker, 1862, but I hesitate to confirm
