Aellopos titan
Lovely blue, green white Moth
Came inside my Home, it was very cooperative, I set it free.
Thank you so much, Jakubko. Thanks to PN members like you, we learn so much. Thank you again.
If you look at Aellopos titan, the lower white mark which is closer to the apex of the forewing has a more of a curve, whereas the curve in Aellopos fadus is less pronounced.

Thank you for the ID, Jakubko, I looked at some pictures and Aellopos Fadus and Aellopos Titan, look so much like mine... do you know the difference between the two?
Lovely! Also known as the White-banded Sphinx Moth, even though most members in this genus have a white band on their abdomen! :-)
