http://davesgarden.com/guides/bf/showimage/15224/ is an image of a clearwing sphinx moth but it is not an Arkansas clearwing moth (Synanthedon arkansasensis). The image which I submitted for DG guide was confirmed by BugGuide.net. The Arkansas clearwing is a very small multicolored moth with a restricted locale in the U.S. mid south.
The unknown moth image should be submitted to DG bug ID forum for possible identification.

Thanks again. No need to post it to the ID forum. I am pretty sure after searching BugGuide that it is the Common Clearwing - Hemaris thysbe: http://davesgarden.com/guides/bf/go/264/ and I have moved the image to that page and informed the photographer of the change,
