Description

Sphinx Moth hiding on a block under the Four o'Clocks in my yard. First time seeing this kind. I got it to crawl onto my fingers and held it for a couple of minutes before gently putting it back. Its wings at rest (like shown here) spread across three of my fingers.

Banded Sphinx Moth (Eumorpha fasciatus)

WOAH!! That thing is massive!! I know that we get large moths (though I'm not sure what kinds they are) down in mid Utah but if I ever get the chance, I'll snap a picture of one and post it
