Gray Moth - Mocis latipes
Miami, Miami-Dade Co. rburetor County, Florida, USA
January 9, 2017
Size: 40 mm wide
I found this guy in a lawn bordering a mangrove forest. Due to its generic shape and color (save for a black dot on both forewings), I have been unable to narrow it down aside from Lepidoptera. Any help would be much appreciated.
