Black moth with orange collar - Harrisina americana
Lewisville, Denton County, Texas, USA

Saw this moth today at a nature park and thought it would be easy to id...I have an idea but though it best to ask before posting. I followed it as it flew and landed on several different plants and then I lost sight of it.
