Hummingbird Moths, Sphinx Moths or Hawk MothsEumorpha fasciata?
Wonderful website… was able to id (I think) the adult Eumorpha fasciata from links provided by your site and in the process began to see larva pix. Got to thinking about some pix I took a year ago of a critter feeding on Ludwigia sp. and I do believe they are the same species. The larva was found at my Dad’s home in Mims, FL on 061305 & the adult was found at my home (on the carport at night) in Lake Kissimmee State Park in Lake Wales, FL on 071406. Can you confirm my ID and please share the photo’s as I did not see this species on your site? Thanks much-

Hi Katrina,
You are correct with your identification. We have photos of both adult and larval forms of the Banded Sphinx, Eumorpha fasciatus, but we have three sphinx moth pages and six caterpillar pages to look through. Your letter is the first with both stages sent together.
