Looks like a Lunar Moth.

Let is know how it tastes.

or humming bird moth

Busy little fellow.

That’s what I was thinking too.

Our Lunas are lime green

This one from out shooting range

Hawk moth.

This ^^^^^^^^^^^^

those horned tomato catipillars.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manduca_quinquemaculata

We call them hummingbird moths, a lot of people think they are hummingbirds.

Not sure if it is a sphinx moth. I’ll look dome more

Sphinx moth, hawkmoth, hummingbird moth are all correct. It is likely a Whitelined Sphinx but the picture is too fuzzy to be more specific.

I don’t know but when one of them runs into your chest on a motorcycle going 70mph at near dark you’ll have a hell of a time getting composed again.

Mothra.

Im staying with my initial guess. Sphinx

We have hummingbird moths here. They are AWESOME!

Sphinx moth is what I would say too. A pic without the wings moving would make it easier.

This Kind

Sphinx, hummingbird, and hawk are all names for the same moth.

Pesticide , because the need to be killed .

I think you're right. Guy down the street raises 'em. They call him Buffalo Bill.

"It rubs the lotion on it's skin, or else it gets the hose again" -Buffalo Bill

LOL. That’s what this thread reminded me of. 🤪

Hummingbird moth, we've had several this year, fun to watch

I’ve never seen one here.

Hummingbird moth or hawk moth , what tomato worms turn into.

Pictures really fuzzy but appears to be a White Lined Sphinx moth.

Hyles lineata, White Lined Sphinx moth. Oneof of the hornworm but not a pest of tomato.

Good luck.

Ask an Entomologist and He’ll say it is definitely a white lined sphinx moth Hyles lineata.

It’s a sphinx moth no question, the Family is Sphingidae, common names include hawk moth, hummingbird moth. There are as many as 75 species in North America. I’m sure this one is the white lined sphinx.

We too call them humming bird moths, but that's not the proper name



Hyles lineata, also known as the white-lined sphinx

Seems late in the year. Sphinx moths overwinter as pupae and there’s nothing in the literature about them migrating south.

Doesn’t seem like there’s much chance of late-summer emerging ones like this to reproduce.

Just wondering if young chubby women have been disappearing near the OP’s neighborhood?

I've seen 'em here in coastal AK. Got pics and video. I definitely did a double-take, thinking it was a baby hummer . . . until I saw the proboscis.

It looks like a wabugoon.

Hummingbird moths to me, but I think the correct name is Sphinx Moth !

Unless you have a tomato plant nearby.

Peojos

Yep hummingbird moth, saw my first last year, pretty cool to watch and have to tell people coming around not to swat it with their hats.

No doubt that it's a White Lined Sphinx moth. They're 1 of many sphinxes, probably the most common. Those arm sized tomato worms are the larvae of another sphinx that's much larger, also called a hornworm moth. All of them are called Hummingbird or Hawk moths.

Tomato worm moth, as wide as your hand:

Wabigoon

you’re welcome

I'm not sure what they're called around here but they're huge and sound exactly like a hummingbird. Real cool insect. You definitely notice them.

Just wondering how many besides myself that have degrees in Entomology.

Man, all you entomologist were on this like a moth to a porch light.

Well done.

Curiosity stimulator bug...

Wonder if you can lick it like those toads and trip the fuuuk out for a day or 12????
🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

lol, one of my buddies has one of those toads.

I’m not an Ento, but I’ve had to learn thousands of bugs for several exams and certifications for WDO and GRC licensing.

The wife is a master license holder/pest control operator.

We have to not only identify insects, but also their turds, their frass, their drill holes, their nests, etc, etc.

We rarely get hummingbirds here, but most years a bunch of these are mistaken for birds...

We had em in the Mobile Infantry.
Each sqd 1 each.
For Downtime fun.
Undetacble on pizz test.
We fed him moths and skittles.

👍👍👍

I'm gonna start a Lawerence Welk thread.
When I was in my prime from 1970 to 1980 when I was 20 to 30 yrs old type of thing.

I been 75 since 19 hunnert and 55.
Fonzie jumped the shark
Joanie ATM,d Chachi....

you told me you were going to start a thread about Piles

Never had em.
Can't relate....

Is that something a big set of tin snips can take care of???

But you said

You feel like you’ve been 75 years old since 1967

Dont be merridickulous

You most likely have encountered The Piles or Dibertickalightus

The Tater piles is posting on the long-range shooting thread.

LOL

Caplock comes out of the closet!


I know you've got pHD in something Slummy

So not only asbestos, but pesticides - I'm impressed you're still with the living.

You the Orkin Man?


Quite the couple


Now that is truly disgusting. Don't they make an industrial grade pesticide that kills everything on the planet so you don't have to know all this schist? (side effects include peeling skin, hair loss, vomiting, diarrhea, etc)

Speaking of excrement, maybe an honorary degree in Scatology?
