Sphinx Moth in Broad Daylight




 
As I was riding back home, I spotted this big bug on the barbed wire.  I had not seen anything like this before and after asking my neighbors, I found out what this was.  I thought it was alive and was just hanging on to the wire during a windy day but it looks like this moth was impaled onto a barb.  The Loggerhead Shrike (bird), is the only bird that captures and impales it's prey.  I was told the Shrike has not been seen at Sutter's Landing Park for quite sometime.  Could they be back?
