Came to an ultraviolet light in the garden, San Cristobal de Las Casas, 2,200 meters.
Thank you bayucca, it certainly looks like a Pero Moth. There are so many colors of these moths and varying patterns of wing edging.
Geometridae, Ennominae and looks like being a Pero sp.. Please, verify, I am not 100% sure.
