Black Witch Moth.
This one even happens to be a female.
They have a 7 inch wingspan. I found this one at Santa Ana National Wildlife Refuge. According to Wikipedia, the black widow moth is seen as an omen of death and misfortune in superstitions across the Caribbean, Central and South America. In Mexico, it's believed that one of the moths flying into the house of someone who is sick means that their death is close.
For me, it’s just something to see along the way.
