what’s the name of this moth?
Hi,
I am constantly on your ‘what’s that bug’ website to identify the bugs I find in my yard. Thank you for making all the info available online. Attached is a picture of a moth I cannot find the name for, I am hoping you can help. The location I photographed this moth was East Orlando, Florida in the garden section of the Lowes store.
Sincerely,
Evelyn

Hi Evelyn,
This is an Ello Sphinx, Erinnyis ello, and by the looks of the condition of the specimen, a very old moth.
