"Hello Bill,"

"My name is Jack. We found this moth on the side of the house this morning. The wife and I have lived in S. Texas forever, and we have never seen one this color pattern: Green camo. We have seen most all the other hummingbird moths in this area. Our question is, what catapillar does this creature come from? This moth is one of the most beautiful moths we have ever seen. We took many pics but have not downloaded from cameras. Would be glad to send if you want any. We live 30 miles north of Corpus Christi just outside of Ingleside.

"Thank you."
