Thanks bayucca! I was suspecting it could be a moth by its eyes but was not sure :-)

Geometridae, Larentiinae, Hagnagora sp. and looks like being Hagnagora anicata.

Everything OK with it, despite that it is a moth ;-)

Thanks Mark! for the moment I cannot tell for sure as I don´t know the ID. It did look as the regular pattern but it could also be an older specimen (?)

Very pretty. Has she lost scales or normal pattern?
