You're welcome. I don't think I've seen one of those in person. Perhaps they don't live this far south. I like Sphinx moths, though, so now I'm going to be on the look-out for these.

Oh! So funny. I have only seen them going from flower to flower. The face did look familiar and I though it might be a Spinx moth. I just love them. Thank you.
