Heliothis subflexa - Hodges#11070
the diagnosis of this moth is a pale green FW crossed by 3 lines each edged with white on basal side.


 
Heliothis virescens
I don't think this is H. subflexa because the pm. line does not end at the apex. Their is confusion between the two species which will hopefully be cleared up soon. See comments here. In the meantime, I'm moving this to genus.
