Cisseps fulvicollis
Black wings with a faint brown stripe at the bottom and a blueish abdomen. There is an orange collar around the neck. I'm thinking this might be the Grapeleaf Skeletonizer?
On a moth sheet. Forest with many ponds and lakes.
I think the moth is just distorted in the photo. Here's a better photo which looks more like yours:

My moth seems more elongate than the one you suggested, yours is more squarish. Does that mean anything?
Harrisina americana and Ctenucha virginica are both very similar, although H. americana is smaller, and Ctenucha virginica has a shiny bluish thorax.
