Smerinthus cerisyi
Large gray moth found resting on the recycling bin. Sadly, not showing off the pretty warning markings on the wings.
It's a brave little moth! I needed to take the recycling bin it was on to the curb over a long gravel/rock driveway, and it didn't show off it's warning markings even after the long, bumpy ride. Sad!
If you could have or still can scare it a little(just a little) It should reveal the wings underneath with eye spots and pink colors.
