Name: Kim
Iowa (Zone 5a)
I kill ornamentals... on purpose.

greene said:Okay, I think I have it...well, I don't have it, just the identification:
Alope sphinx/Erinnyis alope or something pretty darn close.

I am not Mellie, but insects interest me, so I had to take a peek... It looks to be at least in the Erinnyis genus. It seems to change color with the different instars.

I don't mind picking up insects, but that one might give me pause.
