Port Charlotte, Charlotte County, Florida, USA
August 19, 2011
Size: length about 2 cm
Came to porch light.
I cropped and turned this image for easier comparison to pinned images.
I didn't sharpen or edit otherwize.
It looks like a Limacodidae sp. but I find no match.

Paectes
Although it has the typical posture of a Limacodid, this is actually a Euteliid (formerly a Noctuid) in the genus Paectes. Paectes abrostoloides (Large Paectes) looks like a good match, but there are a few similar species in Florida, so I'd wait for a second opinion...
