Bayucca, there are a bunch on the BOLD site that look very similar. Thanks for the quick ID to genus!

Sorry, too many similar around. I once IDed another one during Euro2012, I exactly remember the discussion between football and moth, but I could not find it anymore and the PN search engine is not showing it up, which happens me all the time and which is a little bit strange.
