Thank you so much bayucca, sorry the picture that shows the moth the most is the third one, I will keep on researching based on your information, Thank You!
bayucca
Saturniidae, Hemileucinae, Hylesia sp., I will try to get closer. Do you have a picture of the whole moth (dorsal view). This would be very important for an ID.
