Bedstraw hawkmoth
Hyles gallii

Observation date: September 10, 2014
Submitted by: Niceroad
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: Found in between vehicles on the pavement in a parking lot. I've been keeping it happy feeding it fresh fireweed leaves for the last couple of days. It is getting very dark so I guess it is just about ready to pupate and overwinter. I will find it some good soil to do so.
