Abbot's Sphinx Moth - Sphecodina abbottii
York, Virginia, USA
May 18, 2006
Size: 2 inches approx.
It looks like a little owl or bird on it's back :D. It seemed to like blue. First it flew into the livingroom and landed on a blue butterfly ornament. It later flew onto a blue headband. Maybe coincidence but funny. I think it is a newborn.
