Dotun55, it looks like that could be it, but Caligatus angasii is an African moth and this one is from Central America.

Its rear end looks like a slug! Amazing spot.

Thanks bayucca. This one had me fooled about which family it belonged in.

Noctuidae, Euteliinae, Eutelia sp., I am not sure if yours is really Ablatrix. Could also be another one. Quite variable and most of the pictures are museum specimens.
