Good morning, fellow CoSoNauts. Yesterday afternoon I saw this bug in my petunias. If any of you happen to know what it is I would love to know. Thank goodness it doesn’t appear to be a spotted lanternfly.
@Treebugz this one is so similar, and also very beautiful!
@HopeSeeker I had that wrong. Banded sphinx moth.
@Treebugz Thank you very much!!!🙏🏼
@HopeSeeker it's very much NOT a pest.
@sfleetucker Once @Treebugz identified it I looked it up and realized it wasn’t eating my plants, just enjoying some nectar. Then, my panic about the spotted guys subsided. 😎
@HopeSeeker Tiger moth, genus Grammia.
