Carole on Aug 12, 2013Looks like a moth to me. We get some pretty big moths here in Australia. I would Google "big moth" or something like that and see if this creature comes up in any images!Helpful Reply

Carole on Aug 12, 2013Looks like a pale brown hawk moth? I would expect some difference between male and female but this looks close if not exactly the same as your critter.Helpful Reply

Sandra Parrill on Aug 12, 2013It IS a moth, a variety of hawk or sphinx moth. Not our largest native moth, but pretty big all the same. Comes from one of the caterpillars related to the tomato worm. There are many varieties and most of them do not eat tomatoes.Helpful Reply
