Hi Pam, It is very interesting that yours in Costa Rica is yellow and ours in Mexico is orange! It is such a beautiful moth! http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/20292015/fullscreen.

thanks bayucca... amazes me how you find these images on the net... I don't know where to start even! And they don't look alike to me till I really add in some imagination! Oh well, we can't all be expert researches I guess. Thank goodness for projectnoah!
