A worldwide community photographing and learning about wildlife
Project Noah Nature School
Hyles euphorbiae
"Small sphinx" Pale yellow and "gray" more green in this case. Flies after 11:00 central time in this area.
A native to Europe, but introduced to North America in an attempt to control the invasive plant Euphorbia esula (Leafy Spurge) http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/315.... Not a bad attempt because the species only eats this plant. Slowly making it's way across North America.
Monday was my first time seeing these guys.
