This Rustic Sphinx moth is beautiful!
I’ve been watching for the White-lined Sphinx month and was surprised to discover this guy a few days ago. I think I have seen one a couple of years ago on the outside of our house. But I have only seen the White-lined on the flowers.
This was early morning and I wasn’t sure how well the photos would come out, but I think he looks pretty cool!
He was super fun to watch as he stuck his nose deep into the flowers. And check out his tongue that sips the nectar!






What an exquisitely adorned moth Lisa, thanks for sharing your lovely captures of it 😊
