Paonias excaecata
The Blinded Sphinx is a special moth that loves to fly at night. Its wings are big and beautiful, and it can be found fluttering around flowers, especially in the summer.
生息地: Forests
The Blinded Sphinx is a large, fuzzy moth with a thick body and mottled brown, tan, and gray forewings that mimic tree bark. Its hindwings famously feature a large, blue-centered "eyespots" that are partly obscured by a black patch, making them look "blinded."
