White-lined Sphinx
Hyles lineata

Observation date: March 20, 2021
Date notes: Time & Date Exact
Submitted by: Englishman
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: Seemed to be close to death. No parasites observed, but looked 'drained', however it was not on vegetation when I found it so it may have been 'empty' or sick (poisoned?). The road is the main route in to the County Dump where many 'landscape gardeners' dump their brush, so it could have easily fallen off moving vegetation from anywhere in the area.
