Observation notes: I was really surprised when I saw this outstanding Sphinx Moth. I new it something special, but didn't realize just how special till I found it on this site. Amazing!! Never saw one like this before. It was feeding on my Lantana plants. Went by the Cuphea next to the Lantana, but didn't care for those flowers.
