Rothschildia triloba
First time to see this Moth, it was so large and so beautiful, it was a little! damaged but still gorgeous, 4 windows in the wings were see-though. I think it is a Atlas Moth?!
Muy bien dicho, asi que Espanol tambien? Mucho talento.. : )
Thank you so much, bayucca, you always so helpful, I can see the difference.
I will change the ID, thanks again.
Rothschilida lebeau and Rothschildia lebeau forbesi are the same.

Lebeau looks different, see my comment below. I still thinks it is Rothschildia triloba: Spots (much larger and much more rounded in Lebeau than in Triloba) and altitude fit quite well.
Need help with the ID of this Moth.
Now that I see Juan.moreiras Moth, Is this spotting a:
Rothschildia Silkmoth, Rothschildia lebeau,
Rothschildia Moth, Rothschildia triloba or a
Rothschildia forbesi, Forbes' Silkmoth.
I would change it to bayucca's too. ") My suggestion was only a start and bayucca is very much more knowledgeable.
So many types of Rothchildia, I did notice that the triloba has smaller see-through windows. I will change the name mostly because bayucca has ID so many of my spotting correctly
Rothschildia lebeau forbesi has round spots not triangle-like as shown in yours. According to the location and altitude it is most probably Rothschildia triloba.
Alt. 1,244 m. above sea level, Lat. 10.03, Long. -84,29. This is correct.
Google Map is incorrect, when I type where I am?!
I am in Costa Rica I guess the Location was not change since my last spotting.
Thank you for the ID nexttogone, I feel lucky to have seen a Forbes' Silkmoth Rothschildia forbesi, hope to see more.
I'm not sure on the suggestion but it does seem more like the Texas species. But it is at least a starting point. The California species are quite a bit different.
Awesome! I believe that you will find one of these with an ID in the Butterflies & Moths of the World mission.
