Xylophanes tersa
Was raised from caterpillar to adult.A very common species in our area.They come every year if you got their host plant pentas. The females lay a lot of eggs, as the plants foliage will be gone in a day or two.
Gardens,where pentas is.
Raised in captivity, as unfortunately many die in the wild due to parasitoid wasps.
