Lime Hawk Moth

[Martyn]

I could have sworn I posted these pictures last night but I can't find them now. Maybe I just clicked preview and forgot to click "Post".

 

This moth and an Elephant moth visited work yesterday, probably attracted by the new high power security lights. They landed on top of an old oil drum, so I slipped a sheet of paper under them and got a few quick shots. The Elephant moth got away before I got to it.

What a beautiful moth.......the more I look the more it reminds me of a Avro Vulcan bomber.

What great camouflage that would be in a tree. Excellent pictures of this beautiful critter

Great set Martyn. Not seen one of these before

What a great find - I've seen only one, once in my life. Quite jealous!
