Moved from Waterlily Moth. According to Troubridge 2020 this is H. australis 9056.1, not cristata based on geography- Florida.

Thanks Maury!
My guesses were not even close. I spent a lot of time in the wrong subfamilies. Looks like I also have the other species too (apicosa).

You're welcome
The two can be confusing especially the males. nearctica.com has good information on these.
Thanks
