Vine Sphinx Moth sighted hiking Hayden/Green Mountain, Colorado - June 2, 2014

Some species of Sphinx Moths can have probascis over 7 inches long which enables them to retrieve nectar from flowers with especially long tubular construction.

Notice the charming little lady bug that Amy shot along with the blossom :)
