Pixie Toadstool Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 I think it's an elephant hawk moth! I believe it likes to live on Rose Bay Willow Herb.Pix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonzjob Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 And when it grows up it will look like this.[IMG]http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f180/Jonzjob/Elephanthawkmoth1.jpg[/IMG][IMG]http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f180/Jonzjob/Elephanthawkmoth3.jpg[/IMG]And will have the most incredible punk haircut[IMG]http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f180/Jonzjob/Elephanthawkmoth4.jpg[/IMG]They are really beautiful and the most incredible colours. Unfortunately the photos were of a moth that died in our house last year. Domage! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
