Tersa Sphinx moth

Xylophanes tersa

Spotting Image 1

Description:

Tersa Sphinx moth. It never fails, everytime I road travel I stop at the services stations with my pocket camera to see what I find, mostly moths because they leave the lights on all night. Today I had a nice surprise.

Habitat:

Semi tropical forest.
