Monday Nature Mystery

We are pleased to announce the winner of last week's Monday Mystery, Fred Siskind!

Several people recognized Pandora Sphinx Moth, (Eumorpha pandurus), but Fred was the first to post the correct answer. This lovely moth flies as dusk and nectars on many flowers. The host plants for the larvae include Virginia Creeper and grape plants.

Each Monday we’ll post a new photo and identify the previous week’s winner. They’ll receive an ASNV hat or tote bag.

Here is this week’s mystery photo:

Good luck!
