Looks like an Emerald Moth, maybe Chavarriella sp.

  Looks correct, thanks! Checking some reference photos, I wonder if the 4 white dots matter for identification, can't seem to find any yet that match it. Posted 6 years ago

    No prob. I wonder about those dots too. In the past, I've noticed that with some species, markings like this vary with individuals and age; but, other times, they matter for ID. I'm not sure in this case. Posted 6 years ago
