Hummingbird Moths, Sphinx Moths or Hawk MothsOleander Hawk Moth
This moth was photographed in Oklahoma in August 2008. From what I have read on your site, this is primarily a Mediterranean moth, except it has been found in Hawaii. Is it unusual to be found in the center of the United States?

Hi DANIEL,
While an Oleander Hawkmoth would be quite unusual in Oklahoma, your own Pandorus Sphinx, Eumorpha pandorus, is not so strange. You can read up on them on Bill Oehlke’s wonderful website.
