Darapsa versicolor (Hydrangea Sphinx) from Martha’s Vineyard on 7/16/17. This was one of 10 individuals recorded over two nights. This moth is fairly uncommon over its range, this is probably mostly due to the fact they don’t seem to like lights so much. I did catch one adult nectaring on flowers nearby. The little moth in the corner is Cosmia calami - or as I like to call them, Cosmic calamities. #darapsa #darapsaversicolor #sphingidae #sphinx #sphinxmoth #insects_of_our_world #igcb_mothmondays #igclub_butterfly #beautiful #uncommon #moth #mothing #entomology #hydrangeasphinxmoth #hydrangeasphinx
