bayucca, on the ball again, I see! It looks like Epargyreus exadeus cruza to me also. Well Done!

Tricky one! Epargyreus sp., but there are several similar ones around. Candidates are Epargyreus spina, Epargyreus aspina and Epargyreus exadeus. I slightly tend to Epyrgyreus exadeus cruza. http://butterfliesofamerica.com/imagehtmls/Eudaminae/Epargyreus_exadeus_cruza_F_GF_MX_25-XI-04_i.htm http://www.butterfliesandmoths.org/species/Epargyreus-exadeus http://butterfliesofamerica.com/imagehtmls/Eudaminae/Epargyreus_exadeus_cruza-_male-24-III-06-La_Florida-TMP_i.htm It is easier excluding than including species...
