We have THE best bug wall at work! I see lots of mantises, walking sticks, etc... on it. This week, it's been mostly cicadas, post egg laying or mating. Today, I was able to camera "catch" this sphynx moth: Xylophenes tersa, I believe.

Unexpected Encounter. This guy buzzed me tonight while I was pumping gas, and landed on a nearby column long enough for me to snap a picture. Luckily, my windows were down and the phone was readily accessible.
