unknown moth and caterpillar - Spodoptera dolichos

unknown moth and caterpillar - Spodoptera dolichos
Ormond by the Sea, beachside, Volusia County, Florida, USA
July 1, 2018
Size: just over 2 cm in length
The caterpillar photo of this unknown species was taken in Feb of this year, but one of the same caterpillars came into the house on June 16, I captured it and put it in my live insect container with sme cuttings from the yard plants and some sand, the caterpillar was gone by the next day, I assume that it pupated in the sand. Tow weeks later this moth appeared.
