Image of Giant Sphinx
Description:
Caught by a loggerhead shrike and skewered like a shish-kabob in an oak tree. I couldn't help but check what moth it was and climbed the tree and took the moth down but it was too late. Hopefully the shrike came back to enjoy its meal...otherwise the ants had a party!
