Thanks Jacob! I love the sphinx moths & it it always a thrill to spot one but I initially assumed this was just a variation of the waved sphinx I've seen a few times. It was only when I couldn't find a match for the green that I investigated a little further.

I would agree with your ID, although I was first a little bit confused about your missing second "white" spot. http://bugguide.net/node/view/137421/bgimage http://bugguide.net/node/view/368932 http://www.flickr.com/photos/greenjay2/3868523812/
