I found the ident in Paulo´s gallery.

Forewings purplish brown with a dark median fascia outlined with a pale line; there is also a small dark patch near the costa. The antemedian line is pale and running obliquely across the wing. The postmedian line is broad and edged with a pale fine line. Hindwings dark brown in the basal region and along to the distal aspect of the tornus. The termen area is orange-brown with dark brown band running almost to the top of the wing.

Key Identification Features:

Hi Felipe!

It is big pleasure to watch pictures like this. It almost looks real. Ultradetailed, sharp and wise composed. Brown tones of this moth look superb on green. More beautifull than many butterflies. Great work my friend!

Superb details, colors, POV and exposure on this wonderful moth.

Thank you for sharing it, Felipe!

You've even got my liking your moth Felipe, and that's not easy to do where moths are concerned. You show him so well, his colours and patterns are very attractive. And his furry body and wings are nice and sharp too. I can't believe I said that about this scary moth, but well done!
Janice

Very good macro with excellent details showing the soft scales in a quality that normally would only be received when scanning a moth on a flat bed scanner. But this is real life! The colours are truly naturalistic, and very beautiful to look at. The hind wings even seem to be transparently lighted from behind. The background is excellent, both in its distance and the composition it adds to the picture. Great picture! Thank you Felipe. Best regards,
Peter

This is very good work Felipe. Moths can be tricky to get right. Excellent color saturation, exposure and sharpness. A BG that makes the subject pop. Composed well and..I can even see the right eye clear & sharp!
Very well done!
