Description

Left out for work this morning @ around 9 am.....saw this lil fellow, and went back in for the camera, got a few shots, didn't think anything else about it. Got home this evening, around 7ish, and he hasn't moved yet! Anyone have any idea what species this is? Thanks for visiting! (((hugs))) Angela

Very nice shot first off, second, good for you going for the camera! Not sure what it is, but I would say something along the lines of a Sphinx moth. But my moth id skills are pretty elementary. Well done!

Don't have a clue about the species, but he seems to get around.... My Moth Photo. This fellow stayed motionless for a day and a half - then he was gone... Great photo, Angela!

I know my sister would rather die than look at this picture, with such a close up... :) Poor girl, I think they are beautiful! But then again, I like "hairy" things... :) Vashek
