Sphinx Moth? - Amphion floridensis
Lake Placid, Highlands County, Florida, USA
March 31, 2009
This moth never landed within my eyesight. It was out in broad daylight, about 2:00 pm. I don't know if an ID is even possible without catching the wings still, but I do have other shots if some other detail might help. Thanks!
