Elusive Butterflies of Love Art/Bugs In My House Art
You should take the time to read his profile. He's such an interesting person. This is what he wrote about "my" moth (pictured below):
"...from the picture, shape of the wings and your description it is for certain a Hawk Moth in the family Sphingidae...also called Sphinx Moths. Very common in your area. Species could be (hard to exact Id from that photo alone) Sphecodina abbotti....Common name-(Abbot's Sphinx)
Hope that helps? Take care..Sincerely, Mike..bugman"

Isn't that interesting? I looked up some pictures of Hawk Moths and discovered there are many different kinds. For instance, I found these pictures of a couple of moths that look similar to the one I saw. The first two photos are of a Abbot's Spinx:
These two where listed under Poplar Hawk Moth:
Sweet Dreams!

Doris, Hi
Go to the cutest blog on the block and you will find a honeybee background..I thought of you when I saw it..Have a good weekend.
Doris,
That is so interesting! How nice of the BugMan to help you out :)
Do a search on the "Oleander Sphinx Moth" or "Oleander Hawk Moth." I did one for my 30 bugs series- it's seriously on my list of things I must see before I die, even if just in a museum or something. I know pictures can't do it justice... but it's one of the prettiest bugs I've ever seen (in photos!!)!
Love,
Samantha
That is a beautiful little dog!
Did you read the e-mail I sent last night? Let me know if you want the Lilly Of The Valley I mentioned.
