179/365 Achemon Sphinx Moth

Common in this part of America. This moth has a wingspan of 87-97mm (3.42-3.82 inches) I tried getting it to fully span its wings but it wasn't wanting to do that. Shame because the pink is very pretty. It can be distinguished from all other Eumorpha species by the hindwing upperside being almost uniformly pale pink from the base to the diffuse, dark brown submarginal band.

Oh yeah it's a handheld pic :))
