Name That Moth!
Hi, Bugman! Can you help us identify this guy? He and a bunch more like him have been swarming around our Merritt Island, Florida yard since about November. Thanks a bunch. Great site!

HI Heather and Kevin,
This is a White-tipped Black Geometrid, Melanchroia chephise, though it resembles some of the wasp mimics in the Tiger Moth Family.
