Moth
I found this moth on my screen door a couple days ago. I was wondering if you could tell me what kind it is. I searched your site and couldn’t find anything that I was 100% sure was the same thing. I live in Seattle, WA.
Thank you
Pamela

Hi Pamela,
We have posted several photos of the Blinded Sphinx, Paonias excaecata, in the past. You can also go to Bill Oehlke’s excellent Sphingidae site for more information.
