Nice moth pamsai!
pamsai
bayucca's right Phillip. Late at night, force of habit, cursory glance; everyone can make a mistake and you've done a great job with my moths. Thank you. I put Howler monkeys in the Insects of Costa Rica mission; late at night, force of habit from all these moths! Hehehe... definitley not insects...!
bayucca
No reason for sorry, Philip, you did great jobs before ;-)...

He's absolutely right. I get so used to seeing E. tigrata that I was guilty of a cursory glace ID. http://pick18.pick.uga.edu/mp/20q?search=Eucereon+consorta&mobile=close Sorry Pamsai

Erebidae, Arctiinae, Arctiini, Eucereon consorta. Tigrata has not so large black patterns. http://www.boldsystems.org/index.php/Taxbrowser_Taxonpage?taxid=399992
