Bedstraw hawkmoth
Hyles gallii

Observation date: September 09, 2015
Submitted by: roleary
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: After several hot days this moth was found under my garage light on the ground in dying throes. I photographed it because at 67 I have never seen one like this before. I went into the house to get something to preserve it and when I came out a robin was eating it.
