I was initially thinking this was a little one but I think that impression is due to the perspective. The big 'fleshy arms' leads me to Aenetus sp. I noticed the other day A. eximia has yellow examples on-line. see

BOLD specimens are tricky colour-wise as blue/green fades really quickly in preserved moths.
