My yard is a buzz at dusk with dozens of these. They are necturing off of a clerodendrum indicum.

OH WOW! Those are fantastic pictures!! Thanks so much for sharing them. I have only seen one kind of sphinx moth here and I'm not sure what kind it is. It's out during the day.

MzM, my thoughts exactly...that is awesome!! What exactly is that plant they are loving? I might just have to have some!

I've only seen one of each in my garden. Lily's is a Clear-winged moth. I saw mine in the daytime too. They are too cool!

Konkreteblond.. clerodendrum indicum.. http://davesgarden.com/pf/go/54153/ should grow well in your area if you can find one.

Thanks for the link...I'll have to do some research on it. I can't say that I've ever seen one.
