Small-eyed sphinx moth (Paonias myops), #7825

Larose Forest

A view of a sphinx moth I don't often see, the underside. This one was hanging by its feet from a twig and allowed a couple of shots. This is the prettiest eyed-sphinx we see in this part of the world, in my opinion. To see the upper side: https://pbase.com/laroseforest/image/170927729

Nice colors... looks like part of the tree catkin.
