Good job, Gilma! Yours is actually Crocypus perlucidaria macroleuca! Sorry for my wrong ID!
Gilma Jeannette Ospino Ferreira-Norman
bayucca I could not check your ID, you know how bad I am with that BOLD Systems?! I saw this Moth called, Crocypus perlucidaria, here, http://foter.com/Geometridae./ and it looks a lot like mine but not as blue, what do you think? Someone here at PN has a Simena luctifera Moth,http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/7682444, but mine did not have antennas like that!

Just a few days and you already were missing me... That's a very nice compliment! Thanks!
