While on vacation in Cabins, West Virginia last week I had some company waiting on the front porch one morning. I believe one moth was the Imperial Moth and the other one remains a mystery to me. Any help you may be able to give me would be greatly appreicated. I am so glad I found your site it it WONDERFUL!

Dear Priscilla,
You are correct about the Imperial Moth and the other is a Walnut Sphinx, Amorpha juglandis, which we verified by researching it on the Sphingidae of the Americas website.
