Hagen's Sphinx - Ceratomia hageni
Eisenhower State Park, Osage County, Kansas, USA

This may be a difficult ID, but its nice green wing markings stood out a lot. This moth was attracted to lights in the prairies and mixed woods of eastern Kansas.

Perfect!
I checked it and that is indeed the one. Not only do the wing colors and markings match perfectly, but there was an osage orange tree within a hundred feet of where I found this moth. Thanks very much!
