Hummingbird Moths, Sphinx Moths or Hawk MothsMoth?
This moth was on my front door-light last night and then found around the same area in the morning. I have never seen any moth this big before. Do you have any idea what it is? I forgot to mention that I took these pictures in Coral Gables, FL. on a cold winters morning. I don’t think the Moth liked the temperatures too much. As you can see from the one picture, it was about 3″ in length. Thanks,
Don
Hi Don,
This is a Ficus Sphinx, Pachylia ficus. They are found in Florida, Texas and points south.
