Wow, I want a clear winged hawk moth! I haven't even seen hummingbird moths this year. It's been so hot that I haven't been out much.

Great pics everybody. I'll be looking for orange spicebush cats. That's so cool.

Kim, I'm with you on the difficulty identifying the swallowtails that mimic pipevines. Here's one that I had trouble with yesterday. I didn't get a clear shot of the top of the wings. Wish I had b/c that was the difficult part -- no blue. Just yellow spots and yellow shading. I thought it was a poly at first, but it had tails, orange spots underneath and that spotted body. I'm thinking it's a spicebush ST too. Seems like the spicebushes also have more crescent shaped spots.
