Large Brown Moth

9 years ago

Anyone know what this is? I found it hanging on a drape in my living room this morning. So I picked up and put it outside but it hasn't moved. I am in the New York Hudson Valley. Thanks!

It's one of the "Sphinx" moths ... but I don't know which one.

BIG moths with blunt, fuzzy heads.

Maybe Pandora Sphinx moth

I think that it might be an Achemon sphinx...pretty distinctive markings.

Horrors upon horrors! I forgot to include Pennsylvania (Pa) among the group of local states in my list of concerned states! Good Lord, Pa probably supplies much of the East Coast with apples from Biglerville and its surrounding area!! --Stitz--

Yeah, I had a bunch of those this year. I let one finish feeding and cocoon just to see what it was, and it was one of thlse small brown moths. I don't have enough dill to share with them and my BSTs, though, so I pick off the moth cats now.

Just a guess, it is a little hard to tell. Not sure what part of Florida you are in but I believe the virginia creeper sphinx is known to live here, at least in some of Florida.
