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.
