Hyles lineata
The fore wing is dark brown with a tan stripe which extends from the base to the apex. There are also white lines that cover the veins. The black hind wing has a broad pink median band. It has a wingspan of 2 to 3 inches
This one has spent the last few weeks in and around the Joe Pye Weed in the wet area behind my home.
