White-Lined Sphinx Moth

(Hyles lineata)

Description:

Like hummingbirds, this creature can generate lift with the up and the downstroke of its wings. Antelope Island State Park is one of the most memorable birding locations I’ve had the pleasure of visiting. It sits north of Salt Lake City Utah near the community of Layton.
