Silver and Dark Green Beauty Scottsdale AZ 85255 - Manduca rustica
Scottsdale AZ 85255, Maricopa County, Arizona, USA

Size: About 3" long
I do not know what this is but I think it is a moth, It is a Silver and Dark Green Moss color. The silver reflects the sun. In the shade the silver looks more white. I first saw it during the day. It stayed on the wall that it was photographed on for 2 days in the same place, it seemed like it never moved. On the third day during day hours it disappeared. Do you know what it is???
