Rustic Sphinx
Thanks for helping me identify this Rustic Sphinx Moth that was on our back porch in North East Florida. We see lots of strange critters here, but this was the first one of these. I believe this one was in a state of metamorphosis too as it soon flew away. Pictures are of both sides.

Hi Dave,
Glad we could help and we are thrilled to have new photos of this beautiful moth, Manduca rustica.
