Huge Moth

[Frosty]

Found this beast on the outside of my pool screen.

Does anyone know what it is, tried searching the internet, but there are so many.

First one is for scale.







Its almost like a small bird.

Bet you wouldn't want that flying into your hair[msncry]

That's a beauty Neil, but I prefer them to flying away from me [msnscared]

I think it may be a White Lined Sphinx Hummingbird moth, according to birds-n-garden.com

Hey Rosie,

Nice one, thanks for the info. I trawled thousands of pages of moths trying to find something similar, to no avail.

How are you by the way?

We had a huge bat in the street by our post office a few years ago...it was one like you see in Disneys Animal Kingdom...we think it go out from somewhere because it looked very sick laying in the road...it was like being in a vimpire movie....
