Banded sphinx
Eumorpha fasciatus

Observation date: August 27, 2019
Submitted by: Jujudaffy
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: Was attached to a plastic crate in my backyard. I took a flat slat and got him to climb on since I had to move him. He climbed on, got off when I set him down on the table and did not move for several hours (move as in fly away. He was still moving his legs a little). I have never heard of or seen this type before!
