flying what?
What is this?
What a pretty moth!!
It's way prettier than the moth I found on my front door a week or so ago. Mine was ID'd as a Xylophanes tersa, Tersa Sphinx moth.

If no one in here knows what it is, ask in the Insect and Spider ID forum: http://davesgarden.com/community/forums/f/bugid/all/ And then put your photo in BugFiles: http://davesgarden.com/guides/bf/ That's a great picture! Carla, did you put your pic in there, too?
I did it, Marylyn. Thanks for the nudge.

I believe what you have is a Banded Sphinx Moth

Thank you Josephine! I found him in the greenhouse this morning couldn't find his way out.
You are welcome, they sure are pretty.
