Hawk moth

Description:

Large moth, varied shades of gray, wide wing span, long feathery antennae, and big eyes. (When it flew away its wing span resembled a hummingbird's)

Habitat:

unknown

Notes:

I picked it up to try to get it to fly away because it was resting on a child's play structure. I was afraid the child would injure it.
