Eumorpha vitis

Observation date: June 08, 2019
Submitted by: tsurratt1965vw
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: The weather was very hot with temperatures in the mid to upper 90s F and the moth seemed to be resting in the shade provided by my house. The moth stayed there for many hours and was gone when I looked later that night. It was one of the most beautiful insects I have ever seen in the wild!
