Your letter to the bugman: Hi,
This little guy or gal was zipping around the yard tonight. I am guessing it’s a Striped Hawkmoth, correct? Are they becoming more common for this area?
How you want your letter signed: Kristi
Bedstraw Hawkmoth
Dear Kristi,
This is a Hawkmoth, but a different species. This is a Bedstraw Hawkmoth and you can verify our ID on Sphingidae of the Americas where it states that it: “ranges coast to coast in Canada (into the Yukon) and southward along the Rocky Mountains into Mexico. It is also widely distributed throughout Europe and Asia.” Your action photo is stunning.
