Whose heinie is sticking out of the nasturtium?
Why, it's the Titan Sphinx moth of course.
Aelepos titan is far from home. The most southern edge of his or her range is Uruguay. Wisconsin is about as far north as titan sightings are reported and their brooding area is the Florida Keys. Seems like someone heeded hurricane evacuation orders and hightailed it to safe space. Good call!
I guess if your favorite tropical hibiscus lunch has been blown out to sea, a northern nasturtium will do. Any port in a storm, eh?

And I missed it/him/her?!!
Sadly yes. I believe you had flitted off to hobnob among the hollyhocks that day. You know you are always first to get a bird or bug alert call from next door.
