Fig sphinx
Pachylia ficus

Observation date: April 18, 2023
Submitted by: rsmall8888
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: He is about 3 inches long and has little white dots. It looks like a brown dry leaf. He is on my door, which is brown so I am not sure he can change colors. He seems to be dormant now. It is a sunny day today but we have had a lot of rain these past few days. I have seen some other giant moths on my building but not this color.
