This following moth puzzles me. It doesn't look like anything that would come from South America.
The person I got this from had 3 of these, all with the same data stating they were from Peru.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Peru Saturnids
I have checked a couple of the world Saturnid sites and can not find an id for this pair of Automeris.

I don’t know the Automeris but the lower one appears to be Copaxa medea from Peru. Used to have a gorgeous pair but unfortunately sold them!
