Not really an easy one. I think it is Hamadryas februa, although you have also Hamadryas julitta, which looks very similar to Februa, but some spots are different. http://butterfliesofamerica.com/hamadryas_julitta.htm

You're welcome! I'm sure you'll get an ID here. We have quite a few users highly knowledgeable on neotropical butterflies.

oh thanks! :D i'm afraid that i'm not longer in the place i took the photo, so i guess, i'll have to wait to someone who can identify it.

Hi ScarlettKaletKale! This is not a moth but a butterfly (Cracker, genus Hamadryas I think). Someone more familiar with the area will be able to give you a more accurate ID.
