Check out this Moth I found!


It has been identified!

According to midnight solarium, this is a Blinded Sphinx also known as the Paonias excaecata. After doing my own research on it I am pretty sure this is correct! The Paonias excaecata is a somewhat common large moth able to be found around most of North America. These moths are nocturnal, you can find them easier at night. The Paonias excaecata start off their life as a Hornworm Caterpillar. Once they mature and turn into their adult form they no longer eat, they only use the energy that they have stored up! This makes their only priority finding another Paonias excaecata to mate with. Despite this goal, they are docile around humans!
