White-lined sphinx

The striking pattern is actually supposed to help them blend in with dry grass, believe it, or not. Im really good at finding adults hiding in grass, you can find them during the mid-day, when they rest.

Thanks. I just Googled white-lined sphinx, and they're even prettier with the lower set of wings visible. 24 hours later, and he's still in the same place. The sudden cold snap must have rendered him catatonic. The first picture didn't provide a size reference, so here's another. That's about as big as moths get in my neck of the woods.
