The Mulberry Wing
There are a handful of species on the Jamaica Bay list that I haven't seen, but have been documented by others. I hope that over the course of time I'll fill in those personal gaps. One of those gaps was filled on August 30 at Floyd Bennet Field in the form of this Pink-spotted Hawk Moth (Agrius cingulatus). Depending on your monitor and setting, this picture may be life size. It is quite an impressive critter.
