WTB? My sister took these pictures of this near a pond outside of her work. She said it is about 4 ft [sic] across? What in the world is this??

Pandora Sphinx

Dear M.A.S.,
This beautiful and streamlined moth,
Eumorpha pandorus, is commonly called a Pandora Sphinx.  Thanks to a comment from Trevor, we would like to draw to your attention that this moth was most likely four INCHES across.
