Enjoy and have decided to follow your postings, which give more information about your sighting than most do.

Have seen these interesting little guys before (Texas Pineywoods); thanks for an id!

My favorite showy moth! They're so gorgeous--almost otherworldly. They land on my glass door and front window at night--a precious gift. (Kids love 'em!)

My guess is Bignonia capreolata, a lovely Texas native growing all around my woods. A photo of the flower would help. Check out the USDA native plants database or Texas NPDb online.

This actually appears to be Erythrina herbacea (Leguminosae). I know it as "coral bean," but among other common names is "red cardinal flower." I have both this and Lobelia cardinalis in my natives garden. They're both striking flowers! I met the coral bean in Florida but it grows here in Texas, also. For verification, one source is the Texas Native Plants Database (aggie-horticulture.tamu.edu).
