Hummingbird Moths, Sphinx Moths or Hawk MothsWhat’s this Moth?
Bugman,
This is the largest moth I’ve ever seen. It’s 2.5 inches wing-tip to wing-tip and 2 inches in body length. I found it on my house on 7-2-06 in Olympia, WA and was wondering what it is. Any information would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Steve
Hi Steve,
This is the One Eyed Sphinx or Cerisy’s Sphinx, Smerinthus cerisyi. You can find information on Bill Oehlke’s excellent website.
