Thank you Zencat. When I google pics of Hawk Moth, I don’t see any with their torso turned up. Do you know why the torso would be turned up, is that an action or the way the bugs anatomy is shaped?

I don't know why they do that. Trying to attract a mate is all I could think of.

I looked it up on the bug guide and it says the adults aren’t visible until June...?

This has been a very odd year for everything. I saw a small butterfly today and Iris are blooming very early.

Very pretty. I don't see the big ones around here.
