Chloropteryx sp.
This medium butterfly was very hard to photograph, perhaps because of the silver on it and that I had to use the camera flash.
Thank you again bayucca...sorry I have so many questions, I just would like to learn some about Butterflies and Moths... : )
The Geometrinae are usually called Emerald Moths. Colors is sometimes also depending on the light angulation and use of flash. So, you can take Emerald Moth as common name or if you feel more comfortable you take Geometrid Moth.

Chloropteryx, looks very much like mine, it was green but with a lot of silver and the markings were exactly the same, I guess the color can change some with all that silver. Thank you bayucca.
bayucca, the shape of this moth is sort of like the one in the internet but I feel strange, writing Emerald, when it was blue and silver?! : (
Geometridae, Geometrinae, Chloropteryx sp.. Could be Chloropteryx opalaria, but there are many others of the same genus around.
