This moth was outside on our living room window yesterday. I'm thinking its a kind of spinx moth but I'm not sure. Do you?
You can't tell from the photo but it was pretty big. It was about 3 inches long and 3 inches wide at the wing. Its quite beautiful in an ugly sort of way, don't you think?
UPDATE: Its been identified as a Rustic Spinx Month. Get this, when they fly, their wing span can be from almost 4 to 6 inches. That is a huge moth. They come out about 10 pm and feed on the nector of flowers.

Really cool moth! He's doing his best to blend in with the screen. :)
Thank goodness it only eats flowers. I agree it is very beautiful- the texture is very interesting.
