eumorpha pandorus
The green tint of the moth is mostly due to the camera's flash. In person, the darkest green spots appeared almost black and faded into a medium gray that blended with the khaki color that is seen in this photo.
When I clicked to join mission a little snail patch told me the page doesn't exist.
Awesome! Please add this moth to my mission, Moths of the Americas! Thanks!

Well, that makes much more sense than Daphnis nerii. I was having fun imagining how he got overseas, though.
Seems to be some sort of Sphinx moth. Eumorpha pandorus. Pandorus sphinx moth.
