Hi Tweets!
I've exhausted my options in finding out what and why a Twin-Spotted Sphinx
Moth is in Auburn, Wa. Maybe Ruth could give me a link ? This Moth is the
size of
a hummingbird! My daughter and I found it on the side of a grocery store in
Edgewood, Wa. It was on a brick wall. We carefully captured it and took it
home to set it free in our surrounding woods. But after researching this
moth it seems
it's range is from Nova Scotia to No. Florida. Could have possibly hitched a
ride
on a produce truck??? It looks to be a female and in good health . If in
fact it is rare, who would I report it too? We plan on letting it go if it
will live out the rest of it's adult lifespan in our neck of the woods, in
the next couple of days at most.
But would like some info first. If anyone would like to see it or could use
it (alive) please e-mail me. Never saw such a huge, beautiful and wonderous
moth such as this. (sorry for the non-bird question, but it does fly with
wings , hee-hee!

In remembrance,
I will miss Jim's Lyle's exciting posts very much.
I know he is flying now as we look skyward, soaring free and happy!
And whomever takes over his web-site , know too that you are just as precious
to us that Jim is and was to us FalconWatchers .
