A new moth at the moth lights - Astoria, OR

Mike Patterson
I picked up a new species for the yard list when checking the
blacklights this morning. https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/126649120 A Blinded Sphinx (_Paonias excaecata_), considered "blinded", because it lacks the central black "pupil" in the center of the eyespots on the hindwings. National Moth Week starts July 23, so it's time launder your moth sheets and break out the blacklights, if you've not already done so. https://nationalmothweek.org/ -- Mike Patterson Astoria, OR I don't know... http://www.surfbirds.com/community-blogs/northcoastdiaries/?p=3924

Very nice, Mike. I've seen that sphinx over here at Gray's River very few times over the years, certainly far fewer than S. opthalmica.
