Waved Sphinx
My first large sphinx species, this guy came in two nights ago. A couple of weeks ago I got a smaller, darker sphinx species in, the Lettered, but this species here is a member of a slightly different group. He took all night in the refrigerator to calm down enough for photography. The larger the moth, the longer time it takes to go into torpor (but also the longer you have before it wakes up).
