Yes, it is Rothschildia orizaba.
Bill Oehlke
I suspect it is the larva of Hemileuca mania, but I am not sure. I am going by process of elimination and comments in Lemaire's Hemileucinae, indicating that Hemileuca mania is a grass feeder from your area.
Bill Oehlke
Yes, Copaxa cydippe. Very nice images.
Bill Oehlke
It is either Hemileuca mania or Hemileuca numa. I favour mania which generally is reported as having a more southerly range in Mexico compared to H. numa.

I also wish permission to post these images to WLSS, and will also id the other Saturniidae you have posted from Chiapas.
Very nice pictures.
I agree with Ryan's determination as Coloradia casanovai.
I wish permission to post the images, credited to you to my casanovai page on World's Largest Saturniidae Site. Please send personal email to oehlkew@islandtelecom.com

I am pretty sure this is Automeris unifasciatus which has recently been removed from synonymity with Automeris grammodes.
I wish permission to post image on WLSS, credited to photographer, but I do not know how to contact the photographer? Help please. Bill Oehlke
That one is actually Bunaea alcinoe, not Bunaeopsis licharbas.

Asthenidia lactucina.
Bill Oehlke
I think this one is probably nominate subspecies Asthenidia transversaria
transversaria, with the other subspecies salax, flying further north in Costa Rica, and subspecies columbiana flying further south in Colombia.
