Hummingbird Moths, Sphinx Moths or Hawk MothsThe biggest moth I’ve ever seen
This moth looks similar to others on your site but not quite. It was hanging on our door in Lansing, Michigan a few weeks ago. When it flew away it looked like a small bird. What kind is it? I have a higher res pic if you need it.

Hi William,
Pachysphinx modesta is sometimes called the Modest Sphinx. Other writers call it the Poplar Sphinx.
