Banded Sphinx - Eumorpha fasciatus

Hostplant Ludwigia, I think

Neat photos! I think this is on Primrose Willow (Seedbox), i.e., Ludwigia species, which is listed as the hostplant by Covell. (1) Evening Primrose is also listed as a hostplant, but I don't think the seed pods have those angular corners.

Yes, nice

I moved these to the guide. They'll come in handy as this is a species I've received photos of through email many times asking for identification.

Robin's right about image linking, and I agree these appear to be different individuals. They are, right?

Well, I can't say if they are

Well, I can't say if they are the same individual or not. I took the first photo (brighter colors) on October 8th, and then returned to the same plant and took the second photo on October 25th.

Nice photos

These are apparently not the same individual; images should only be linked when they contain the same specimen. Just an FYI.
