My wife discovered this huge moth outside in the corner of our screened in porch.. near the soffit. I got as close as I could to keep all of "him" in the frame. Sorry for the distraction of the white aluminum and screen. I'm not smart enough to clone them out in PP. He/she has a wing span of 5"/12.7 cm, if that helps with the identification.

It might be a Black Witch Moth.... I googled Florida moths and this one looks promising:
