Typo btw... I fixed it. ;-)
Fantastic. I like range extenders.
Turns out it is Chloresia banksaria :)
Thank you Mark! I saw there was another spotting about 120 miles north 6 years ago! My neighbor has also seen them rarely.
Welcome to Project Noah.
An interesting occurence if correct. The species seems to stay around the south-east corner of the USA. Maybe it hitched a ride.

Not an endemic species
