The conclusion was, see Sighting 3380921 that there are two Anestia spp. but that it is not clear how to separate the two recognised species . That applies to both the adults and the larvae, I suspect.

Can it just be left as a tiger moth larva (Anestia sp.)

Yes. In the form we use it becomes: 'Anestia sp.(genus)'.

That is the Rose Anthelid, sadly not long for this world with that red mite on it's side.
