moth question – with location added
Hi Bugman –
This crazy looking moth came flying at me on a cold autumn morning (October ’07) and landed in my clematis vine — where I took it’s picture. After looking at photos on your site I think it’s a pandora sphinx moth but would appreciate your expert opinion. Thanks –

p.s. Also think your site is amazing — both for it’s photography and the bug facts.
