Hummingbird Moths, Sphinx Moths or Hawk MothsFound this moth on the garage door. Don’t know what it is…
Hello.
I found this weird moth on the garage door this morning. Not sure what kind it is but I have never seen anything like it. Looks like the moth has ‘bat wings’ or something. Could you please identify and let me know. Thanks so much. The moth is about 2 to 2.5 inches long with a curled up tail. I haven’t harmed it as I intend to let it go now that I’ve photographed this beauty. Oh, yeah, the bug (and I) are in Pacific, WA (south of Seattle area). Thanks for your help.

Hi Andrew,
This is the second Blinded Sphinx image we received from Washington today. Minutes earlier we posted the other image, and, don’t tell Pamela, but your image is of a much higher quality. We are certain it will help our readers identify this very distinctive moth.
