Tobacco hawk, moth. Found adjacent to my tomato plants, this moth will likely spawn tomato hornworms which will be devastating. But it’s part of the ecosystem. Without them parasitic wasps will not have food and would not survive. So keeping a few pests means success for their predators as well.

A lot easier to spot than the rattlesnake was.

Yeah just the obvious moth. I'm colourblind though.
