Another variety of owl moth to the delight Otra variedad de polilla búho para el deleite
Matches quite fine with Atrolimbata besides the large "spot" on the forewing. In Harsuame's it is not "empty", meaning irregular with an additional spot in the circle. In all Atrolimbata I checked it is just a fine empty circle. I can't say if this is important, but I know that moths in Colombia are a nightmare to ID, most of the not yet IDed will come from there...

Beautiful! Please confirm Automeris atrolimbata. It is certainly Automeris genus, though the species needs confirmation.
