  Definitely think so. Did a long search, this is the closest I could find: Eois cobardata

  Still not 100% sure though, it's such a giant genus. What do you think? Posted 5 years ago

    Well I think you found it. That is great! Thank you. Wiki says it is found in Ecuador but I have found ranges their given to sometimes be incomplete. I'm going to give it that name and if someone finds it to be different can be changed. Posted 5 years ago, modified 5 years ago

      Fully agree. We've searched and ID-ed many Colombian moths before and often they are "officially" not reported, yet are reported in Ecuador. This is mostly simply due to a lack of data, it doesn't always mean the moth does not occur there. Posted 5 years ago

It looks like it could be but I am a rank amateur regarding moth identification. I would love to find out. Posted 5 years ago
