Found this on my citrus tonight

Fort Worth, TX(Zone 8a)

After some research, looks like this pretty thing is a Falcon Moth. Anybody agree?

Datura,

Great capture! I wish I could help you on positively IDing it for you, but my Peterson's field guide for moths doesn't have this species even listed...and when I google, even to wiki, I come up empty for images...sorry. You can always put your pic in the bird ID forum here at DG and someone will help you :)

LOL! I am sure you meant to say bug file Susan.

Datura....Do you have Penta nearby? Does it look like this? http://davesgarden.com/guides/bf/go/1429/

Datura,

Great link!!! I put it on my fav's list...
Lots of freaky looking larve...but very cool!!

Sheila,
No, I did not mean bug files...there is a forum here for insect and spider identification...this is the link...

LOL! It was the "bird" part that I caught. Although it looks like it would fly like one.
