It is found from Mexico and Belize south to at least Costa Rica.The wingspan is 92-96 mm. Adults are probably on wing year round. The caterpillars of this moth probably feed on papaya (Carica papaya), Manihot esculenta and Macroscepis obovata. A moth is an insect closely related to the butterfly, both being of the order Lepidoptera. Moths form the majority of this order; there are thought to be 150,000 to 250,000 different species of moth (about ten times the number of species of butterfly), with thousands of species yet to be described.
