  Looks right to me. Quite a puzzle yet this one deserves a name, it's so beautiful. I'm not finding any blue ones, the closest I got it Eumorpha typhon:

  It still has differences in some details, not sure if that dismisses the candidate. Also, I'm thinking possible we should look for gray-to-blue species, and not pure blue. Posted 5 years ago
