Location: Vero Beach, Private Residence

I am known as a Giant Sphinx,
It's hard to tell from this view
If my wings were spread, and you could see my hindwing,
You'd ID me by a yellow base with a dark "tooth".

Check out the link below to see the specific marks on a specimen with its wings spread. 

Special thanks to guest photographer, Heather Stapleton.
