Hi Mike
We have a Black Witch Moth in Scottsbluff, Scotts Bluff County, Nebraska

(far western county)
It was seen at The Village Garden Center inside the main greenhouse this

morning. I supose it's still there but
I didn't go back out to see before I left this afternoon. It has at
least a 6" wingspan but I didn't go out and measure it.
I couldn't find a picture to id it until I got home and looked in my new

"National Wildlife Federation Field Guide to Insects and Spiders of
North America"
The weather here has been very hot and dry, and windy.
I have attached a picture that I took.
