I'm not much on moth ID so any help there is appreciated. Found this guy resting in our garden later in the evening as the light began to fade. All comments welcome. >=))>

This is beautiful Bill. I am pretty certain this is a Tersa Sphinx Moth, Xylophanes tersa. I really love the olive colors and the lines that show up in the body and the wings. Perfect DOF and details. Wonderful.

Bill, Moth id is much more challenging than butterfly or dragonfly id. I can't help with the id, but the details are terrific. Love all the subtle colors and feather detail that you've caught in the moth and how they blend well with the surroundings.
