A naked moth The neighbor&#039;s cat has been bringing me specimens again. Unfortunately, the naked one I can only guess on an ID. She beat the fluff out of it. I stumbled upon this one at 3a.m. This cat hates her home and leaves offerings and tries to break in the house. Her way of bribery.  I feed her though. <br />
I&#039;m going by the shape and the color of the face and the shape of the wings. I&#039;d cross references with ones in California. Achemon Sphinx (Eumorpha achemon),seems the closest. I have the white-lined specimen which I originally thought it was. It&#039;s there as a reference. Cat&#039;s trophies.
