Banded Sphinx - Eumorpha fasciatus

Banded Sphinx - Eumorpha fasciatus
Parkwood, Durham County, North Carolina, USA
July 9, 2004
Found on the side of my house in the afternoon. Perhaps attracted to a light the previous night. It did not tolerate my gentle prodding to reveal its hindwing--it flew off like a shot.
