You are welcome!
You are welcome!

The only reason I know this one on sight is b/c it took me WEEKS to find the ID's for my photos from Mexico--and this one was one of my favorites.

Your shot is now the best focused shot of this particular type of moth here on BG... and only the 2nd specimen listed here too.
If you want to look at some of my Mexico photos, I have them here

Looks like a Clearwing Moths (Family Sesiidae) to me (but i am no expert). Very pretty.
