Questionable Sphinx - Smerinthus cerisyi
Cascade River State Park, Lake County, Minnesota, USA
July 2, 2008
Seen in morning in a building, probably attracted to lights overnight. At first I thought this was the twin-spotted sphinx, but now I'm not so certain.

Questionable Sphinx
I'm no expert but I believe it's a One-eyed Sphinx, Smerinthus cerisyi. A shot of the underwing would be definitive.

Thank you
That's what I was wondering, but it is difficult for me to tell the one-eyed and twin-spotted apart...
