Observation notes: We are novices and this is our first time seeing what we think is a Sphinx Moth. For the last two nights, there have been 50+ of these feeding on our Plumbago bush. Temperature was approximately 70 degrees and the sun had just set. Thank you for your web site and for helping us learn. Kind Regards, Virginia and John Corcoran
