Hodges #2693 - Carpenterworm Moth - Prionoxystus robiniae - Female
Tallahassee, Leon County, Florida, USA
March 13, 2020
Size: Forewing ≈36mm
Attracted to black light. This appears to be a #2693 Prionoxystus robiniae, but not being familiar with this species I would appreciate confirmation. The hindwings of males supposedly have a large orange patch. I was unable to obtain a picture, but when the moth briefly spread its wings I noticed that the hindwings were dark gray.
