Ascalapha odorata
Easily recognized by its large size and pointed forewing, which is blackish to brownish with typical noctuid pattern of lines and spots. Note large oval patch at outer margin, containing 2 rounded spots. Pinkish white bands beyond postmedial lines of forewing and hindwing in females, absent in males. This is a female.
Tropical dry forest in NW Costa Rica half way through the 6 month dry season.
Sighted under my home in the morning.
