Yesterday I thinned out the Trumpet Creeper and they were dozens of these White-Lined Sphinx. I love these little things!
Trumpet vine? Hmmm And another type of hummingbird moth. Cool and cute. This becomes one of the largest Hummingbird moths?
So I take it this is a cousin to the tobacco and tomato hornworms?
I have tons of trumpet vine but never have seen any indication of cats. I have not looked closely though.
But at the same time, I have cut TONS of this stuff over the past 6 years. One big bank ~ 30 x 100 feet was close to completely covered in 2010. One would think I would have ran in to some Cats while cutting over that time.
While it still pops up all over the place, I have tried to keep it in a ~ 15 x 15 feet area which I leave for the Hummers.
