Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: I saw this creature on the branch of a palm tree outside my apartment in Tucson, AZ, around 6:20 in the evening on May 13, 2015. At 8:00 a.m. on May 14, 2015 it was in the same place.

Coordinator notes: While the steep angle makes this a difficult id, from the pattern I do see, this has to be Agrius cingulata. Compare with this photo from bugguide.net and the two long black streaks, two "spots" near the forewing edge, and other wing and body markings are a match. SAT
