It wasn't really fast....
.... I had to look at the Anisotas in Ferguson's MONA fascicle. The male in this photo is virtually identical to the one of fig. 21 on Ferguson's plate 5 of a male from Gainesville, Florida and attributed to the southern subspecies pellucida

Bob, what gives this one away?
We have been struggling with Anisota here on BugGuide. There are actually about twenty images stuck on the genus page that we can't seem to get to species. How did you get this one to species so fast?
