Remember that sphinx moth found by Father Tom at the ABA convention in Snowbird, Utah and given to me to identify? Well, I took a few more detailed photos (not great, but better than the quality of the BlackBerry camera I am using to blog from the convention floor) and I think I have an identity for it: Vashti Sphinx, Sphinx vashti.
If anyone skilled in the identification of these moths would care to offer a comment or correction, it would be most welcomed.
