My neighbor has had this moth since 1996 and is looking for an ID. It is really really cool. It reminds me of a jet. Can anyone ID it for her?

She has another one she's had for 10 years that's beautiful too. I'm posting it in another thread and requesting an ID too.

Thanks for your help.

Probably a Tersa sphinx moth, Xylophanes tersa:

You are fast! This is going to make her day tomorrow. She has wondered for so long.

Thanks again!
