Fine sharp capture of this moth, Jose!
I cannot tell you what species but it is a male (you can see by the antennae) and he is of the Lasiocampidae family.
TFS, regards, Ivan

Hola José Luis.
Bella imagen por el color de la palomita que contrasta muy bien con el fondo negro. Muy buenos detalles y encantadora mariposa nocturna tan propia de esta época del año.
Un abrazo,
José Miguel

Batu probably is right - it's Helianthocampa herculeana.
Very good capture of this rare moth. Excellent colours and sharpness. If you would like to add this picture to my database - you're always welcome ;-)
