Anyone know what this is? It's just above our front door. Leave it alone? Spray it?

Looks like a flying cockroach. Very common in Florida. Be thankful it is outside.

I believe that is a Tersa Sphinx moth.

It is a harmless tersa moth and does not have a stinger. A hairy brown body may have undertones of green or yellow. Streaks run down the back of the abdomen. Wings have a series of thin lines that reach the wing tip. Adults feed on pollen.

No, no, no. We don't have cockroaches in Florida; rather "Palmetto Bugs". Sounds so much nicer, doesn't it?

Winged bug
 
Yes, that's a Tersa Sphinx. You can download Picture Insect to phone. Click and identify.

That is an insectoid fighter bomber from the Arachnids invasion force. Beware they are controlled by the Brain Bug that has power over all insectoid. You need to call The Starship Troopers to eradicate them and the the advancing swarm. Remember “service guarantees citizenship”🤣🤣🤣🤣

We do have cockroaches. We also have palmetto bugs. Palmetto bugs are unable to fly whereas the cockroaches are quite good at it.
Truly apples and oranges in the bug world.

?? Might I suggest a trip to your optometrist. It's a moth.
