Eumorpha pandoras (formerly Pholus pandorus)
The adults are found from June - August from as far north as southeastern Canada into the lower eastern United States. The caterpillars feed on Virginia creeper and wild or cultivated grapes. The adults feed at dawn or at dusk, but rarely in total darkness.
Spotted on the cinder-block wall of a gas station.
Absolutely amazing! I love Sphinx moths. Check out my spotting.

It's amazing what you can see if you just take the time to look. Very cool moth!
That it does, I was amazed when I saw it. I think that both Pandora and Pandorus are correct for common names from what I've seen online. Is that right? Or is Pandorus the right name?
