Two moths

[bill and Dale]

Yes it's me again,
  Two sphinx tonight. The subtle beauty of the Rustic  Sphinx ( Manduca
rustica) (Covell 1-8) all earth tones, browns and tans. The incredible
pastels of Pandorus Sphinx (Eumorpha pandorus) (Covell 1-13). The
picture in Covel does not begin to capture the beauty of this moth and
misses all the colors: pale lime sherbert, olive, black and a touch of
pink. Wow!
   My old friend the Ultronia underwing is back at my porch light again,
the only Catocala I seem to get here.
