You're welcome Janice. If you agree with the ID, please edit the spotting and update the name fields.
Thank you, Machi. I believe it is the Eumorpha Pandorus. I am a new user of this site. As I get more familiar with it, I hope to be able to assist others identify flora and fauna.
By the way, I agree it is most likely not Eumorpha satellitia based on range Try Eumorpha pandorus http://bugguide.net/node/view/3937/data
Janice, it looks like your spotting is missing the map. Can you edit it and add the location by dragging and dropping the pin on the map?
This moth was spotted in Michigan. Does the Satellite Sphinx Moth range this far north?
