Hi,
We’re trying to identify this moth – it was about 1.5 to 2 inches wide.
Thanks!

Hi Rob,
We continue to get photos of the Blinded Sphinx, Paonias excaecatus, and it appears as though this female has laid a green egg on the right side of your photo. See Sphingidae of the Americas for additional information and photos.
Thanks – that’s it! I can’t believe we didn’t even notice the egg.
Rob
