I initially wondered if it was a butterfly when it fluttered into view, but the folded wings put me straight.<br /><br />Ten English hawk moths - that's pretty amazing. The Death's Head and Oleander are ones I much want to see.<br /><br />Stand by for one Holiday Hawk meanwhile...<br /><br />Warm wishes to all<br /><br />MMartinWainwrighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08383027708524885786noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1939528489287886153.post-56581754930238615192011-09-02T21:43:59.555+01:002011-09-02T21:43:59.555+01:00very envious, I'd trade my ten English Hawkmot...very envious, I'd trade my ten English Hawkmoth species for this beauty<br /><br />NickNick Tannerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13021376617198709000noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1939528489287886153.post-53096384397389222932011-09-01T16:51:53.664+01:002011-09-01T16:51:53.664+01:00It's the eyes, body and legs rather than the w...It's the eyes, body and legs rather than the wings that I think are 'butterfly-ish' - if you look at the first pic and imagine a curled up proboscis....wormhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02802335627720182532noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1939528489287886153.post-49605214460637847622011-09-01T14:17:22.693+01:002011-09-01T14:17:22.693+01:00Don't butterflies almost always hold their win...Don't butterflies almost always hold their wings verticle to their backs?
