Plebian Sphinx

Hi Greg,
We believe this moth is a Catalpa Sphinx, Ceratomia undulosa, based on photos on the Sphingidae of the United States website and BugGuide.  We will try to get a confirmation from Bill Oehlke.

Daniel,
Nice picture of Paratrea plebeja, the Plebian Sphinx.
I would like permission to post. Can you help?
Bill
