Sommer Gardens / Thursday, July 29, 2010 / Categories: Garden Pests, Creatures In search of the great sphinx moth... The moths were out cruising around my Angel Trumpets in full force tonight. I typically take an evening stroll through my field of Brugmansia with a LED headlamp on. As you can imagine, that headlamp is a giant magnet for all sorts of flying insects. Tonight I was running in circles trying to photograph giant sphinx months feasting on brug nectar. I did not have much luck with the giants, but I did get some shots of their smaller and more passive relatives, the Tersa Sphinx. Here's one checking out a hole that was most likely made by one of its juvenile predecessors. Looks like I should get ready for another caterpillar attack in a few weeks.
