Thank you Fabiola.Natasha, folicallychalled.
That's Amata, but maybe not huebneri. I'm not an entomologist, and I don't know anything about this insect, but pictures on wikipedia not match exactly. Only 5 yellow bands on pic 1. On pic 2, there are no yellow spot on his back. I don't know if that significant or not. But agreed, this is Amata sp.
