Either a Southern or Black-waved flannel moth in Flagler county, Florida. I'm not sure which. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Three images will be posted of various angles. Sorry, no measurements.

Moved to Lagoa crispata
Moved from ID Request.

You can see the waves better in the dorsal view. When posting leps, please check either Adult or Immature at the bottom of Submit Image page. They cannot be moved to moth without. Thank you

Florida Flannel Moth?
I believe this may actually be Lagoa lacyi, but I have never seen such dark orange coloration.
