Walnut sphinx
Amorpha juglandis

Observation date: June 22, 2018
Date notes: Time & date exact
Submitted by: Englishman
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: (found on my patio [with dozens of hairy walnut tent-caterpillars from the pecan tree above] it was squirming to try to get away from a single ant that was biting it - that I removed. Looks much less well defined than the Tobacco/Tomato hornworms I've seen often at this location, but I'm not growing any tomatoes this season so I don't know where it came from)
