Hello Mr. Bugman
– love, love, love your site! Would love (apparently I’m loving a lot of things) to know the type of sphinx moth this is. Photo taken in Southeastern Florida. Thanks for your site and thanks for your time!

Hi Amy,
Thanks for your complimentary letter. This is a Ficus Sphinx, Pachylia ficus. You can get more information on Bill Oehlke’s excellent site.
