Urania?

[froggy]

Indeed!
Simosg I am quite impressed, I would have thought it would have taken at least a few tries.
Should be easy now to guess the species.
Congrats on knowing your leps microscopically as well as macroscopically.

Urania would have been my first guess also, its that single moth/butterfly you can see all these colours in just one area of wing pattern, that stood out in my memory

You folks are just too good!
How about some of the extra credit then?
