Yes, correct, Rothschildia triloba.

Thank you, AshleyT.
I was amazed to see them again, I just never know when or if I will see them again.

Thank you so much, venusflytrap2000.

Sorry bayucca ,I did not see the comments until today, I live at 900 meters. The one last year, http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/560..., you said it was Rothschildia Moth, Rothschildia triloba and I was at 900 meters, that is why I placed an ID, but I could be wrong...You are the expert... Is it?! Thank you.
