Hummingbird Moths, Sphinx Moths or Hawk MothsPossible Leptarctia californiae?
Hello 
Have been searching and looking at images on your site most of the morning. Absolutely awesome information and pictures! My friend Traci found a beautiful moth in her yard in Washington state and I searched every last moth picture I could find on your website and the one single picture that seemed to match was the Leptarctia californiae. I’ve attached a picture and wondered what your identification of this moth would be? Thanks so much.

Hi Brenda,
This is a One Eyed Sphinx or Cerisy’s Sphinx, Smerinthus cerisyi. You can locate more information on Bill Oehlke’s excellent website.
