My sister took a picture of this bug on the screen at her work and it has us all baffled as to what it is. It kinda looks lke a dragon and a spider combined. Any help and/or information would be very much appreciated.
Look forward to hearing back from you.

Spotted Apatelodes
Hi Michelle,
The silhouette of the Spotted Apatelodes, Apatelodes torrefacta, is very distinctive. Though it is actually a Silkmoth, it is frequently mistaken for one of the Sphinx Moths. You can find more information on the Spotted Apatelodes on BugGuide.
