Tersa Sphinx
Xylophanes tersa

Observation date: September 01, 2013
Date notes: We found this outside our door, and when we returned a few hours later it was still there and had hardly moved. When we tried to get it to move it wasn't spooked by us touching him, and took a few nudges to actually fly away!
