Green and brown moth perfectly colored for hiding on mossy branches. About 2.5 cm in length. The underwings are a silvery grey in color. Family Erebidae.
Garden lights, semi-rural residential area, San Cristobal de Las Casas, Chiapas, Mexico, 2,200 meters.
I would agree with you bayucca after all it sort of looked different from h .biundata.I will try to find the ID for this species
I agree with Notodontidae and Heterocampinae. I do not think it is Heterocampa biundata, the markings are not quite right. But a good start!
For me it looks more like Disphragis and/or Cecrita (change in genus!?). Closer, but not really matching ones are Meretricia, Bochica, Proba. I am not really happy with neither of the three. I will keep an eye on this one.
