The Nessus sphinx (Amphion floridensis) is a day-flying moth of the Sphingidae family. It lives throughout the eastern United States and Canada and occasionally down into Mexico, and is one of the more commonly-encountered day-flying moths in the region, easily recognized by the two bright yellow bands across the abdomen.
