The Gaudy Sphinx Moth was completed on 12.13.2011. This is another of a myriad of the family Sphingidae that I wasn't even aware existed until learning more about the native animals of North America. The lovely coloration of this insect is so striking. It's too bad that many of them are nocturnal and therefore rarely seen. The drawing is based on a photo by Jake Scott.
The Gaudy Sphinx is a medium sized hawkmoth having a of wingspan about 4 5/16 - 4 3/4 inches (11 - 12 cm). This colorful moth is found mostly in the tropics and subtropics from northern South America, northwards through Central America and into the southern and southeastern United States. Occasionally they are found as far north as Michigan and even into Canada. Like other members of the family Sphingidae the caterpillars pupate in underground burrows.
