Maidment78 Posted April 25, 2011 Report Share Posted April 25, 2011 Just sorting out the holiday let when the wife shouts that we have been invaded by a monster. Think it is a hawk moth but I am no expert, very friendly and I measured her at 80mm across Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frenchieboy Posted April 25, 2011 Report Share Posted April 25, 2011 Great photo! Not sure what type of moth it is but I do know that the wife wouldn't be happy if she found it in her drawers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

955i Posted April 27, 2011 Report Share Posted April 27, 2011 It is a poplar hawk moth. Very nice find, I get loads of elephant hawk moth caterpillars on the rosebay willowherb in my garden. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
