Wow! Really amazing moth

Marta RubioTexeira, I have seen them June, July and August and they looked pretty nice, no damage at all, I think they are hatching around those months here in Costa Rica.

I imagine that these butterflies hatch later in the year than the time I was in Costa Rica (April) because a couple years ago I was in Yucatan in September and I also saw them there but this year in CR I did not see them :-)

Thank you, stephanielrickman and Marta RubioTexeira.
They live in my Garden but they are so amazingly beautiful I just had to get more pictures....
