Dysdaemonia brasiliensis
This specimen was flying through my yard when I got college. The spots on the wings are transparent. As the specimen was almost the size of my hand, I suppose it had about 20cm from wing to wing
I found this specimen on my yard, a region of transition between the Cerrado and Atlantic Forest.
The Flash and the low light left the photo a little "caramelized".
Very cool. Good that you said its size was almost that of your hand as it doesn't seem quite so large in the photo.
