Callopistria floridensis
Amazing moth with really hairy legs (like Yeti hairy) and hairy palpi, 1 cm long. Even the antennae are odd. The Larvae feed on ferns and are variable in color from green to brown. Family Erebidae (Noctuidae).
Came to the lights of a Shopping Mall, San Cristobal de Las Casas, 2,200 meters.
