Found this fella inside my porch this afternoon. When I picked him up to put him outside "he/she peed on me!" I'm not kidding. I'm all the time having butterflies and moth get trapped on my porch but this was the first time one peed on me. I'm still trying to figure out if I should be "pissed off" Ha!
BTW I think its some kind of sphinx moth.

Teehehehe, make sure its secretion isn't noxious to your skin, lol. Don't mean to laugh at the situation. Just simply laughing with you. :-)
Haha, it's a Tersa Sphinx Moth. He was probably sleeping and you scared him.
LOL! Melanie, here is a thread that Debnes posted. She raised one, aren't they beautiful? That is if they don't pee on you!

Thanks guys. I would have loved to have kept him but just don't have the time to devote to raising the fellows right now. Maybe come Springtime. We have this enclosed porch but leave the door open most of the time so our dogs can come and go. We've caught and released all kinds of things. This year it was a hummingbird that had got caught in a spiders web. Now that was cool! BTW he/she didn't pee!! Ha!
