I have seen both A Illita and

I have seen both A Illita and A erosa in Desoto County, but I have never seen a caterpillar that looks anything like the one from Lee County. I sent a picture of the plant to some people who know the Florida native plant species, so maybe I'll get an ID. Dr Hansen of USF said it might be a non-native Jute, which woud put it in the Malvaceae. Heppner states that the hosts are unknown for A illita.

Do you still have the uncropped original?

Maybe you can downsize it and post it and someone might be able to figure out the plant species.

Can't quite make out the prolegs

Unfortunately, I could not ID the plant. I don't know Rose of Sharon, but I'm sure it was not on Hibiscus.
