That's also the taxon that I came to last night when I was trying to figure it out. Maybe! I have it up on bugguide too now.

Nice. Post a link when there is more confirmation! Great find and thanks for sharing!

Nothing on bugguide so far except confirming it's in Sesiidae. On my iNat record, I had a Sesiidae expert ID it as Vitacea polistiformis
