The interphase of the habitats parklands/ prairie is where the Snowberry Clearwing comes in since I have seen then south of Mahnomen Minn.
The larvae have quite a interesting habits of feeding as in all Sphinx moth larvae have

Most people are use to see the Tobacco horn worm or the dreaded Tomato cousin of these Sphinx moths..
