                          Cool. Kind of looks like a tomato hornworm. They are not cool.

                              Two more of these beautiful moths have found their way inside. There was another on the outside of one of our skylights yesterday. I think they are in some sort of state...they have not moved for two days. Both next to our black light ribbon LEDs on the wall by the back door.

                                Not sure what to make of the curled up abdomen. They are beautiful though.

                                  The internet says it’s a lettered sphinx. Some moths curl their abdomens to discourage predators. The internet has spoken.
