Fine art illustration of a Gaudy Sphinx Moth (Eumorpha labruscae.) The illustration is available in black and white or color.

Artist’s notes:

The Gaudy Sphinx Moth was completed on 12.13.2011. This is another of a myriad of the family Sphingidae that I wasn’t even aware existed until learning more about the native animals of North America. The lovely coloration of this insect is so striking. It’s too bad that many of them are nocturnal and therefore rarely seen. The drawing is based on a photo by Jake Scott.
