Saw this guy this morning on our front door. I don’t know my bugs. Anyone in the audience able to identify?
update: Chantal, in the comments, says: “That’s a white-lined sphinx hummingbird moth!”

Don’t we still have all those bug books from when I was a kid somewhere?
That’s a white-lined sphinx hummingbird moth!

We tend to get a lot of them in Albuquerque, much to my cats’ delight, but I’m seeing more than normal this spring.
Nice photo, btw 😉
Chantal, you are indeed a woman of endlessly surprising talents.
