Thank you so much! @Jakubko :) I have a friend who studies these moths http://www.projectnoah.org/missions/19571203

Lovely! I am thinking this either is A. daphne, which is infrequently reported from Mexico, or another very similar species. This one just recently eclosed, or came out of its cocoon, so its wings are not fully extended, making it hard to find a species.
