Notes:

This clearwing was settled nicely on a glass sliding door. Not sure about an specifics pertaining to these moths, but they sure are pretty.

Sorry, this is an Erebidae, Arctiinae, Syntomiini and most probably an Amata sp. and could be Amata hirayamae?? I would need some other pictures to see some of the details, but even with that Amata are a real nightmare to ID and often it is not possible to get down to species level on a safe base.
Any other pictures??

Here some other Amata hirayamae:
