    Tricky! A geometer moth, I think. Within that family, there's multiple genuses that have moths looking like a leaf, as seen on your photo:

    I'm not confident on a direct match but the genus Oxydia is a candidate, check this species as an example:

    Oxydia trychiata, La Planada Nature Reserve, Colombia Colombia,Colombia 2018,Colombia South,Fall,Geotagged,La Planada Nature Reserve,Oxydia trychiata,South America

    Similar lines and note the additional detail on the top of the wings, a narrow band of tiger-like print.     Posted 5 years ago, modified 5 years ago
