Hummingbird Moths, Sphinx Moths or Hawk MothsRustic Sphinx?
This fella landed on my screen and has been there for hours. Unusual size for a moth in this region of South Florida (Broward County), although we are only a few miles from the Everglades. Please confirm this is a Rustic Sphinx? It lacks the yellow color typical of them
Thanks
Ed
Hi Ed,
This is indeed Manduca rustica, the Rustic Sphinx.
