In search of the great sphinx moth...

The moths were out cruising around my Angel Trumpets in full force tonight.  I typically take an evening stroll through my field of Brugmansia with a LED headlamp on.  As you can imagine, that headlamp is a giant magnet for all sorts of flying insects.  Tonight I was running in circles trying to photograph giant sphinx months feasting on brug nectar.  I did not have much luck with the giants, but I did get some shots of their smaller and more passive relatives, the Tersa Sphinx.

Here's one checking out a hole that was most likely made by one of its juvenile predecessors.

Looks like I should get ready for another caterpillar attack in a few weeks.
