Hi Caleb,
This is a Blinded Sphinx, Paonias excaecatus, and we have posted numerous photos submitted in the past week from all over North America. According to BugGuide, the Blinded Sphinx ranges over: “all of United States and southern Canada.” It is curious that despite varied local weather conditions, we have received reports from so many different locations this week.
