Hummingbird Moths, Sphinx Moths or Hawk MothsI am attaching two photos of a moth that was taking advantage of shade on the side of my house on a very hot day. Perhaps you can help identify it. I suspect it is a species of sphinx moth.

Hi Harvey,
Your sphinx is a Small Eyed Sphinx, Paonias myops. We located it on this North Prairie Wildlife Reserch Center site. The moth has a wide distribution.
