Thanks, Alec!
Hi, Alec,

Thanks for admiring my photo! I love this insect, too. I have seen adult moths a few times in pinelands around Miami, Florida, but I had never seen the larva before. When I took this photo, I had no idea it was the immature form of the wasp moth. It was a nice surprise later, when I figured it out.
