Catocala flebilis
Large moth. Flew away before I managed a better shot
Short Springs state natural area
Thanks for the ID Dominik!
DrN - I only spotted it because it flew past me!
Thank you for your comments Adarshe, Dilan and Bhagya!
Not a sphinx moth, but a Catocala.
Erebidae, Erebinae, Catocalini, Catocala sp. and I think yours is Catocala febilis. Please, verify!
