@delboy207 The sphinx moth does get pretty big. It's often confused for a humming bird!

Nice photo. Well spotted. I like the way it captures the environment along with the caterpillar. Thanks for including the web address. It was very interesting article and also caused me to read up on crepuscular behavior, as well.

Oh good find and a great photo.

@mbrutus indeed, I only see sphinx moths right at sundown.

@blueberry1222 I'm not familiar with them. I'll have to look them up. If you are such a fan of Lepidoptera, you must have read THE LANGUAGE OF BUTTERFLIES. I found it interesting, so I'm sure you might find it even more so.

@mbrutus sounds interesting, I'll have to check that book out, thanx!
