Cassis Posted August 13, 2006 Share Posted August 13, 2006 Can anyone positively identify this hawkmoth?Looks a bit like a Poplar or Lime hawkmoth, but with white antennae and generally paler colouring.[IMG]http://i68.photobucket.com/albums/i26/cassiscassis/wildlife/Hawk-moth2.jpg[/IMG]It is pictured on the barn door, in full sun.
