A close-up photo of a large sphinx moth on textured black plastic. The moth is facing down, creating a V shape. It is mostly pale brown along its front and the front fringes of its wings, with shaded, veiny patterns of darker browns further back on its wings and body.

Another beautiful sphinx moth from the Okanagan, Smerinthus ophthalmica (a Western Eyed Sphinx; too bad I didn't get the eye!).
