This Pandorus Sphinx Moth, over 3 inches in wingspan, is a beast. Its green wings look like leaves. Hopefully a bird won’t pluck him off the window before I get home from work. This is the first time I’ve seen one of these unreal looking creatures. Cheers to backyard biodiversity, which is greater than you’d imagine in the middle of a city.
