Thank you so much for the ID, Manval.
This beauty has been here for two month, I am just not knowledgeble enough to even guess what it was. Thank you again.

Straggling to ID this beautiful Moth, anybody knows what it is?

Beautiful small moth, ID would be appreciated.

Thank you, Noel Buensuceso.

The closest I got was a... "Small eye Sphinx". No, not a Hawk Moth, The one I spotted was very small.
