I think this sphinx moth had just pupated since it wasn’t in any mood to fly off. I disturbed it while weeding a clump of native California fuchsias (I’ve been busy gardening before upcoming travel) #SphinxMoth #NativeGarden

A Sphinx moth sits on a ledge among some brown to light green vegetation. It has many shades of brown with stripes running parallel and orthogonal to its body parts.
