Notes:

I found this moth on a savanna in the Matiti area, French Guyana; between Kourou and Cayenne. I don't know if the eggs (bottom right) are his (or hers). Wingspan 25 mm approximately.

Thanks Tom, and sorry for the delay. I have been traveling a lot lately and somehow I did not find your message until today.
