Sphingid C-pillar - Proserpinus terlooii
Yetman Trail, Tucson Mts., Pima County, Arizona, USA
August 23, 2007
Size: 4-5cm
Feel certain its some kind of Sphingidae, but which one. Last year I posted the c-pillar of Terloo Sphinx, which was similar, but gray instead of brown like this. Makes me think this may be another Proserpinus terlooii. Can anyone offer some ID help? 1st of 2 images
