Small Eyed Sphinx
Dear Linda,
This aerodynamic moth is a Small Eyed Sphinx, Paonias myops. Here is a posting from BugGuide. According to Sphingidae of the United States of America: ” Males and females of this species look identical, but differ in size slightly. Females tend to be a bit larger and heavier.”
