Thanks Jacob, So long without ID and finally you helped me :-)
Jacob Gorneau
Lovely, Marta! This is a moth in the Geometridae family. Subfamily might be Ennominae, and possibly Euchlaena.

I don´t know if coincidence but I saw the same type of butterfly during daylight and it is indeed yellow color.

The butterfly is the same color of the wasp nest, coincidence?
