Twin-spotted sphinx (Smerinthus jamaicensis), #7821

Reveler Conservation Area

Summer, especially early to mid-summer is the time to see the sphinx moths, which can be quite large and spectacular. It is always a treat to see them.

With those fascinating antennae and interesting wing form - also its colouration - one can imagine why 'tis call a 'sphinx'.
