Just a moth, waiting in the cool of the morning to dry off and fly away. Lucky for him. Mrs. B was not pleased to find him in her vegetable garden.

He is so brightly colored too. If he takes a bite you know what to do. :clobber:

He is ugly in a beautiful sort of way. Good picture. Did you get one of him flying off?

No, he left while I was otherwise occupied. Apparently, it's an odd form of sphinx moth, Melittia gloriosa the glorious squash vine borer. Mrs. B is very concerned, now.
