Se les llama Polillas cuatro espejos, pues presentan una parte de sus alas sin colores y transparentes, que reflejan la luz. Quizás como medida de protección y defensa.
They are called four-mirror moths because their wings are colorless and transparent, reflecting light. Perhaps as a protective and defensive measure.
