Hummingbird Moths, Sphinx Moths or Hawk Mothsa moth?
When I was in the yard yesterday, I saw this beautiful insect on my garage wall. I think its a moth, but not certain. I live in Florida, on the Gulf Coast about 35 miles north of Tampa, if that helps. It stayed for over an hour, so I was able to get a really nice picture. Thanks for your help.

Hi Gina,
We believe this is a Banded Sphinx, Eumorpha fasciatus, but it might be the closely related Vine Sphinx, Eumorpha vitus.
