Melipotis acontioides
The Royal Poinciana Moth (''Melipotis acontioides'') is a species of moth in the Erebidae family. The species is found from the southern United States (including California, Arizona, New Mexico, Texas and Florida)〔(mothphotographersgroup )〕 through Mexico and Central America to Brazil, Argentina and the Galapagos Islands. It is also found in the Caribbean, including Cuba and the British Virgin Islands,〔(The Noctuoidea (Lepidoptera) from Cuba described by Herrich-Schaffer and Gundlach in the Gundlach Collection, Havana )〕 Jamaica and Puerto Rico.
The wingspan is about 43 mm.〔(Bug Guide )〕 The forewings are brown gray with dark brown spots. The hindwings are mostly white with a brown blotch towards the edge. Adults are on wing nearly year round.
The larvae feed on ''Delonix regia'' and ''Parkinsonia aculeata''〔(Melipotis at funet )〕 and ''Parkisonia florida''. The larvae feed at night. During the day, they hide in debris at the soil surface near the base of the tree. Pupation also takes place on the ground.
