Hummingbird Moths, Sphinx Moths or Hawk MothsMoth (sphinx?) Bradenton FL April 2006
We found this moth on the outside window of a restaurant in an outdoor mall in Bradenton FL in April- very cooperative for photos- tawny topside- quite bright orangeish on bottom and body- we moved him/her to my friend’s butterfly garden- asphalt and glass didn’t seem appropriate for her. any ideas? thanks

Hi Karen,
This is a Streaked Sphinx, Protambulyx strigilis strigilis, a tropical species that ranges to Florida.
