A visitor

 
Hard to tell whether this critter is trying to get in the front door -- or perhaps just resting. Fortunately, it's not in the cats' view.

Anyone know the species?

    One of the hawk moths, a fairly large group of species. At a guess, the white lines sphinx moth Hyles lineata.

    Thanks for the suggestion. I have run across another variety of sphinx moth here in California: https://happening-here.blogspot.com/2017/07/we-not-only-temp-residents-of-lee-vining.html

    Gorgeous critter!
