Sweet pics!!

Yeah, the colors really struck me. They're very vibrant.

Those are huge and beautiful andthe moth sizes are unbelievable!!! And I thought or elephant hawk moth was big!! Thanks for posting!

We don't often see our bigger moths - though we don't have any as big as that! Our elephant hawk moth is the biggest and likes privet hedges as habitat/caterpillar food - I had a pic of one as an icon for a while and only had that because Colin rescued a caterpillar from some children who were trying to make it drink cola, outside our front gate, then it made its chrysalis and we took it to Fledge. It 'hatched' into moth form at her front door, under the little shelter there, so she took a photograph before it flew off. Moths, you know, are quite shy!! And most of them only fly around at dusk unlike the showier butterflies. Fledge tells me some of them are around in the day, too, but aren't usually as brilliantly coloured.
