Thanks bayucca. It does look a lot like the one in your link but I've ID'd it just as Amata sp, if we're not really sure of the species.

The one in the link might be the same one, tagged with Armata germana (??), but also tagged mimicry, so I am not sure if this is really the correct name. Other Germanas looks different. Unfortuntaly there are tons of Amatas around. But take it as a hint.
