Moved
Moved from ID Request. I'm not completely confident of the taxonomic placement here - we don't have a Catocalinae at BG, so this was an educated guess. Please let me know and I can move this node elsewhere if necessary.

8584 - Syllectra erycata
Here is the rarity you were hoping for. Please enter the date it was photographed. I am sending the photo to experts to determine if this tropical species has ever been recorded this far north in North America. I do not know of it being reported outside of southern Florida and southern Texas.
