Banded Sphinx (Eumorpha fasciatus)Observer
karylwDescription
Length at least 2.75 inches. Found on surface of marshy ground under loosestrife and creeping primrose willow. Some weeding had been done, so can't rule out that it originated slightly underground. Proboscis didn't protrude in a "handle" loop; overall shape was compact, nearly symmetrical. The only visual images I can find that are close in color (coppery rings) and shape are pupae of canadensis sphinx or some hummingbird moths, but those pupae would be smaller than this.

Io Moth (Automeris io)Observer
anita363Description
Very docile, once they settled down. Tended to drop to the ground if disturbed (perhaps a defense mechanism against bats?), but happy to perch on a finger. Picked this one up and placed on this leaf for a nice photo op. Wingspan 8 cm.
