Description
Hi, I found this one today while out... Enjoy!
kinda pressed for time, will give full description and name later.
Hi I'm back....
I came across this one today while out. It's a Hyles Gallii, the Bedstraw Hawk Moth or Gallium Sphinx Moth. This is how I spotted it, on some low bush leaves. When I tried to get a front on shot, it flew off for a short distance, and that's how I got the second pic with it's wings unfolded.
Pretty cool looking moth....
