I know it has nothing to do with fishing, but this thing has the most amazing camo I have ever seen. It is a moth, but anyone know what kind? Was told a lunar moth but I googled it and it is not the same. I found this thing at work today, alive!

I'd be guessing a sphinx moth.

Had one of those in the house before. Not sure the name but you are right, the camo is amazing.

I googled "camo moth" and you are right. It is part of the sphinx family called a pandorus sphinx moth. Here is a link http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eumorpha_pandorus
