Florida moth? - Eudryas grata
Deland, (I think), Florida, USA
December 31, 1969
Size: approx. 2.5 " long,
This bug is probably in this guide somewhere, but I didn't really know where to look.
The legs are amazing, with all that "fur"! He was on a window, it was raining on & off, there were all kinds of bugs in this area!

I'm afraid I disagree with you all. I would say ] because of the distinct double circle midway and close to the costa.

Genus Eudryas?
Well, I'm on my old laptop, right now, and the tiny LCD screen isn't the best in the world, but, from what I can make out, it's either a Pearly Wood-Nymph - Hodges#9299 (Eudryas unio) (most likely, that's it. It's sometimes called, "the bird poop moth") or a Beautiful Wood-Nymph - Hodges#9301 (Eudryas grata).

Give them a look and let me know what you think.

Thanks Bill, I think the 930
Thanks Bill,
I think the 9301 - Eudryas grata is the closest, (although some of the images are not the same).
I do like the name Bird Poop Moth the best though!
