I want this to be a Virginia Creeper Moth but I think it is really a Pandora Sphinx Moth. Johanna, Audri and I were coming back from a hot, breathless walk this evening and found the little guy on one of my house plants, outside for the summer. He is in camouflouge but my eyes are being trained to see "nature" and he caught my eye.
When we lived up to Orient, we used to have Lunar moths come visit our 4 o'clock flowers. They are a big moth and their little wings beat a million times a minute, just like a hummingbird. In fact, we thought they were hummers for the longest time.
Oh, I want this to be a Virginia Creeper Moth just because I like the name . . . we have Virginia Creeper vine growing around our yard.
