Beautiful!! It looks like it may be Amata sp. Eressa sp. might also be a possibility. Posted 5 years ago

  Thanks, Christine for the possible ID.
  Lots of species from Amata not identifiable from photos. Some can only be verified from close inspection of the genitals. Posted 5 years ago

      I think it is not possible to verify with the naked eye even if the genitalia was inspected! ha ha!
      I believe need to look under the microscope.
