Sphinx Moth - Agrius cingulata
Punta Gorda, Charlotte County, Florida, USA

Looked at Sphinx Moth Images in BugGuide till my eyes crossed but could not find this one. Distinctive banding on abdomen includes some pink. "Bald" spot on thorax. Some white banding on forelegs. One week after hurricane Irma took down our Lanai screen this lovely came to visit just before dusk.
