What is this bug? It had part of a wing clipped and was only walking. Maybe a bird dropped it. I'm in Jupiter, Fl.

Thanks.

How do I get the watermark off my picture? The default option is checked in my preferences. Thanks.

Okay - here is a bigger picture - maybe that's the problem.

That's much better! It's a spotted oleander caterpillar moth, Empyreuma affinis
