Pandora sphinx moth

Description:

3-4 inches / 8-11 centimeters long

Notes:

Outside my front door at 6am, and still at 6pm. I initially mistook it for an Oleander Hawk Moth - but the Oleander Hawk Moth's range is Africa, Asia and southeastern Europe. This was spotted in North America (Virginia, USA). ...1 of 160,000 moth species in the world, as compared to just 20,000 butterfly species. https://www.facebook.com/CenterforBioDiv...
