Diceroprocta olympusa
There are 3 or 4 Diceroprocta species in Florida, and D. olympusa is by far the most common and widespread. The smoky "Z" in the ends of the forewings is well developed and typical of this particular Diceroprocta species in Florida.

For more info on Diceroprocta species in Florida, Refer to the following taxa:
Diceroprocta biconica (extreme s. FL & Keys)
D. viridifascia (coastal)
D. beaquerti (reported from the western panhandle in older lit.??)
