    HUGE moth pic from an hour ago or so...

    I don't recall ever seeing a larger moth. I've seen a few a little smaller but I think this is the first one I've seen with these patterns. Does anyone know what species this one is? Enjoy

    That's not a big moth, I've seen some that can carry off livestock and small children

    Great shots of a white-lined sphinx!

    Nice shots. I love the side view shot.. but I think it would be easier on the neck if it were rotated =)
