@snagleteeth submitted: Cool moth alert from [removed] (remove da location plz) my mom and I love it so much. My mom wants to keep looking at it but doesn't want to disturb it's slumber. Google says it's a banded sphinx moth but I'm curious if you agree :) and just wanted to show you this very pretty friend 🧡
What a beauty! And yes I agree, banded sphinx.
Encountered this banded sphinx moth this morning. She was on my neighbor’s door-jam, so I moved her to keep her from potentially being crushed when the door opened.
She was absolutely gorgeous, and remarkably strong. She was gripping firmly onto my hand when I removed her from the door she was on, but I got her off in the end. A beauty!
@disco-wyrm submitted: Saw this little friend last night, gave me a bit of a spook lol. Found in [removed] (please remove location,,)
Also found this one in the same area, I think it's a hawk moth? Very chill about me crouching nearby to get a picture :D
Very cute spider friend! And yes the moth is a haw moth/sphinx moth. Specifically a banded sphinx :)
@mothrabbit submitted: I just have to submit my favorite bug find of the year so far. A banded sphinx moth (Eumorpha fasciatus) found in central Florida! This one was resting right in front of a busy ATM so I scooped him up and relocated him to somewhere he was less likely to be stepped on lol
Ohhhh my goodness what a beautiful friend! Absolutely stunning outfit. Banded sphinxes are definitely one of the most attractive American sphingids, I think. Great find! I’m glad they were relocated somewhere safer. Thank you for sharing :)
@gryest submitted: Hi!!!
Hope you're doing ok and having a great start of year. Today I bring you what I think is a moth. But could you identify this one please! The photo is from Veracruz, Mexico.
Also, here you go, a beautiful Sphinx I found outside.
Hope you're doing ok and meeting new friendly bugs!
Hello! They're both sphinx moths, actually. The first looks like a giant sphinx, Cocytius antaeus, and the second one is a banded sphinx, Eumorpha fasciatus. Both extremely beautiful! Thank you for sharing :)
@darcyshire submitted: A lovely banded sphinx moth that my stepdad photographed recently outside his home in central Texas!
Oh very lovely indeed! I cherish this friend...
