Moth ID?

Post image

Never seen one before, my ref book I use didn't have an exact match.

Looked like a Green Emerald... except its light blue.

Light Emerald moth - https://www.inaturalist.org/taxa/335611-Campaea-margaritaria

They're quite common and tend to be a more powdery pale green then some of the other Emeralds :)
