Chris writes, "We had a rather large waved sphinx at the backyard
lights tonight (May 24). Based on the usual flight
period which begins in mid-June for our area, this
appears to be another early bird."
In a previous year, Chris has reported this species as late as
July 23.
We (Bill Oehlke, Prince Edward Island) appear to be having an early
spring in 2006. I expect that there will be sightings
for all of northeastern North America about two to three weeks "ahead
of schedule."
