Description

Found this on my front yard a week ago... Since I haven't had time to do much rendering thought I'd let you know I was still around... We think it's a varity of Shinx Moth but not sure which variation..

great detail. It is not easy to bring out the distinct shapes, patterns and bodies on these moths. I've tried and the size and color takes skill to capture.

Wild design and great camouflage, but maybe not on a cypress though ! Can't help with the identification, but neat capture and find Don ! ~Cheers~

Superb shot, Don. These insects are both superb and strange...when I was a little boy they scared me... As you can see, I'm back, after 3 weeks in Portugal, this is why I didn't comment on your picture before.

I would say it was a mystery to me (nerk) but wait, let me look in my little guide book..nope, gotta google it, maybe a Pandora Sphinx Moth? http://icons-pe.wunderground.com/data/wximagenew/p/picolat/6.jpg A pretty version of this moth, too!
