|
Ok, I am really into photography and the other day I was outside taking pictures when I spotted this moth. I must say this moth really looks similar to the endangered Blackburn Sphinx moth. I would really appreciate some feedback about this moth and it's true identity. The one thing I found strange about this being a Blackburn Sphinx is that I found this moth in Alabama.
Also this was a rather large moth.

Thanks, I think I am going to look more into this though  but now I a little more convinced on what it could be. Just wondering how it got over here is my main question. lol

I wonder if they have spread to the mainland without being found or if the two types are really close cousins.
You might contact the people who run that first sight I posted and ask them for more info.
