The abdomen of the adult moth has three pairs of yellow spots. The upperside of the forewing is yellowish brown to deep chocolate brown with a dusting of white scales and zigzagged black and white lines.

Quite large Sphinx Moth that is amazing to watch! Photos posted is the first one I've seen here in Central Florida
