This is a Waved Sphinx Moth that was attracted to the UV Light of our 'bug zapper' last night. They are quite large compared to the most common moths that gather around our porch light at night.

I've attached a copy of a full size view of a Waved Sphinx Moth taken from Insect Identification.org (with credit) for reference.

Top quality set, Gary! That first shot looks like something you would find lurking in the woods.

Thanks, UTMike. When I saw the processed image develop it reminded me of a bull.

Thanks, Curmudgeon. It's about the size of my palm so it is quite large for the moths that I often see.

Thanks, Joe. Most of what I see through the magnified lens look like alien creatures.
