One-eyed sphinx
Smerinthus cerisyi

Observation date: June 14, 2015
Date notes: North east wind - gusty and cloudy. It's also cool today 58 F. The moth was on a piece of clothing on the clothes line. The moth was sighted in Mount Stewart, Prince Edward Island, Canada. I got one shot with its wings folded and one as its wings are opening. The wing pattern changes as the moth opens its wings. Pretty cool!
