Visitor update

After much research, I believe our moth to be a Gaudy Sphinx. It is actually still out on our porch, hanging on the eave. I hope my capturing it didn't stress it too badly. I am beginning to wonder if it is actually a female though as most of my research suggests that the females find a spot and emit pheromones hoping a male will catch the scent. I just wish I had more flowers with deep nectar! She could probably use a snack!
