Thank you Yasser for honoring again one of my spottings as SOTD. It is, and always will be a great honor to be recognised, specially if we look at the huge amount of beautiful creatures that are shown every day in PN. Thanks also to all of you that liked and made those nice comments about this spotting.

Thank you DrNamgyal. Martin, I think I found it: A. amoena (http://www.fotocommunity.de/pc/pc/displa...). But thank you very much for your help.

I agree this is an Automeris moth, Martin, but I am not so sure about it being A. io. Io moths exist in North America only.

This would be female.
I think it is correct
