White-line Sphinx moth also known as the hummingbird moth feeding on phlox. It ignored obedient plant, checked out laurentia, and nudged my fuschia. It kept coming back to the phlox, however. I've seen a lot of these this year. I probably had the caterpillar hatch out as I had a number of their caterpillars' favorite foods. |

Yes, I have seen these! They are incredibly cool, looking like something from a Dr. Seuss book. I've also seen another kind called I think a Snowberry Sphinx Moth.
