Huckleberry sphinx
Paonias astylus

Observation date: August 04, 2024
Submitted by: SPACE_FOX104
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: It was bright day and the moth was missing a leg. I couldn’t tell the sex but its abdomen suggested it could be a female. It couldn’t fly and seemed weak. I had to pick it up off the concrete so it wouldn’t get stepped on and moved it to some nearby bushes.
