I was using my cast net and I caught this. It grammar on to my cast net, because it was rapped around part of the mesh.

1st time ever seeing this species. Its huge. I caught it to take more pictures. They are usually found in "Moist mountainside" areas. I guess all the rain we had brought one out here. They are a June-July season moth. This is a full grown adult modest sphinx. I checked with the butterflies and moths of north Texas website.
