What is it?
Hello,
I found what appears to be a sphinx moth in my garage the other day. After looking through your site, I am sure that’s what it is. However, the tail is different from any of the pics on your site? Have I identified this moth properly? Thanks for your help.

Hi Melissa,
This is a Mournful Sphinx, Enyo lugubris. We have other images posted on our site on our five sphinx moth pages.
