Dear Blue-gray,
How did you determine that your moth is a twin-spotted sphinx. Did you rule out one-eyed sphinx? Try the USGS Moths of North America web page at http://www.npwrc.usgs.gov/resource/distr/lepid/moths/mothsusa.htm
Click on Washington state, then Sphingidae, then look at one-eyed sphinx and several others if you wish.

Hi Tweets!
I've exhausted my options in finding out what and why a Twin-Spotted
Sphinx
Moth is in Auburn, Wa.

We plan on letting it go if it
will live out the rest of it's adult lifespan in our neck of the woods,

If I am not mistaken this is the moth that produces the huge 1" x 4" big
green "tomato horn worm" If you want your tomatoes pruned release it in your
yard.
