This "little" guy is a Tetrio Sphinx Moth caterpillar that is only about 4 or 5 days old. This one is a little over 4 inches. He is not yet full grown.

The ancient Egyptian image of a sphinx atop the monument of Davis Lawler at Spring Grove Cemetery in Cincinnati, Ohio.

Sphinx Moth

SPHINX

Close-mouthed you sat five thousand years and never let out a whisper.

Processions came by, marchers, asking questions you answered with grey eyes never blinking, shut lips never talking.

Not one croak of anything you know has come from your cat crouch of ages.

I am one of those who know all you know and I keep my questions: I know the answers you hold.

Carl Sandburg.

That was really sweet.

The pyramids at Giza

The spinx is not anywhere near as big as I had imagined. I actually looked quite insignificant next to the mamoth pyramids

Me at the sphinx in reflection

The Sphinx is even more impressive in real life than in photos, it really is incredible.

and the Sphinx

Vue sur le massif du Sphinx

This sphinx is part of a memorial to Union soldiers killed during the Civil War.

I had to crop this ever-so-slightly to ensure the horizon was right in the middle.

None of this "rule of thirds" nonsense for me!
