Hey everyone, I'm new here and I just need to know what kind of moth this is and where it's natural habitat might be. I know it's from somewhere in Costa Rica but I can't find what it's called or what plants it might be found by... I'm an illustration student in a design class and I picked this moth for it's beautiful patterns but need to be able to know what kind it is for critiques in class... So yeah, if anyone knows that would help me out a lot. Thanks!
