I found this sphinx moth just off of the Carey-Kimama road north of Paul, Idaho. It was hiding under some gear in our truck! It was about 3 inches long and 3 inches wide with its wings out. I really liked the coloring of it!
Found this moth in our truck but the area around us was filled with Wyoming big sagebrush, green rabbitbrush, crested/Siberian wheatgrass, bluebunch wheatgrass, sandberg bluegrass, cheatgrass and tumblemustard.
Thanks to Jakubko for the ID!
Haha that was fast! Thanks for the ID Jakubko! I've seen the caterpillars for these before but I didn't know this is what they turned into.
