Hummingbird Moths, Sphinx Moths or Hawk Mothsstriped morning sphinx wings in flight
Hi – I love your site. This isn’t the greatest pic of a striped morning sphinx, but it sure shows the incredible dexterity of the sphinx’s wing system in flight. They can also adjust independently the far tips of the wings-bending them down to trim. Taken Tucson AZ 6:30 pm Mar 8 with flash.
