I'd vote for Amata aperta going by body markings on primary picture here (note above moth is female, website is male)

I do not rely on that source. Don does not have the space to include pictures of all variations in variable genera like this. The selected museum specimen (in my experience) usually best matches the live shot even when there is a lot of variablity in the species.

filtering for larvae shots https://www.inaturalist.org/observations?q=larvae&taxon_id=324188 yes they look similar and have the blue bristle bunches but they are not Research Grade. Ones that are not marked as larva/larvae among general observations are not Research Grade either.
In Research Grade ones https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/335529727 this one has 2 pairs of tufts
https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/249737241 this one looks less bristly than above

quite why these did not come out in the filtered search I do not know. iNat searches have some weird problems.
Are these all this species? I am unsure. Maybe "Asura sp" is the solution.
