Larose Forest

One of three species of sphinx moths that came to the moth lights last night in the forest. This one is very large... wingspan can be over 4 inches. This one was particularly large.

With such beauty it shouldn't be modest. I've had blind sphynx moths mating in my garden. They make fascinating subjects.http://www.pbase.com/isabel95/image/82340335
