Hyles lineata
This moth is a good size, about 3 inches. The average between 2.5 & 3.5 inches. They don’t have a lot of color, just a dark olive-brown fore-wings with pale tan stripes from tip to base and white veins.
These moths are active both day and night and are attracted to lights. The moth I found was at the back porch light and feeding at some flowers at 10 pm. The weather was still cool in the evening but not cold.
The picture of the flying moth was taken about 10:00 pm. I just happen to see something flying outside my window and was lucky enough to get a picture before it flew away.
