Hi,
I live in zone 6 and have never seen such a moth , when I googled to find more about it , I came up with pics from Isreal and Africa .

| What a beauty! It's a Pandorus Sphinx moth. The fully mature caterpillar is a large brown hornworm (without the horn!). You may find the caterpillars on wild or domesticated grape, or Virginia Creeper. |

| Rhizo is right! I'd trade my Cecropia stock just to get some seedstock of those beautiful sphinx! All Eumorphas are beautiful, but the Pandora is considered rare. |
