Naples, Collier County, Florida, USA

Size: 1.25in/3cm (hed->wngtip)
Found deceased outside of my office. Probably a victim of rampant pesticide use around here, but maybe it just ran its course. Who knows?

Species Identified
"This is a very common species in Florida found in most counties. The wingspan should be about 60 mm but the markings on the wing give it away."

Thank you, Dr. Sanborn

Dancing with myself?
I can't make a new species page, but if someone could scoot these out of ID, I'd be much obliged. There shouldn't be any doubt about the ID of this species at this point, but if there is, have at it y'all.

Thanks.
