Hi Ferdi

Very nice. 

My first impressions would say that they are both moths (the antennae
appear to lack any club) but I'm not good enough at South American
moths to be able to say which family they are from. They are
presumably day-flying as they appear to be mimicing butterflies of the
family Ithomiidae, genus Oleria.

Good luck.
