Eudesmia menea
Peculiar little Tiger Moth about 1 cm long. It looks pale grey because the wing scales reflect light. It is actually much darker. It has two yellow bands on the wings and a bright yellow thorax and head. Family Erebidae, Arctiinae. See this spotting from Veracruz, Mexico in the daylight by Francisco Ramirez (http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/193...).
Came to an ultraviolet light, Finca Argovia, Ruta de Café, Soconusco Area of Chiapas, about 2 hours north of Tapachula.
You are welcome. I am happy that the ID was OK and this pretty moth has a name now. Good luck with spotting more moths.
