Nephele comma
Hawk moth flew into my study at dusk. Not sure about the scientific name. Suggestions?
Now we are par, that's the revenge for my grasshopper nymph from yesterday ;-)...
It is definitely a Nephele sp., and my guess is a) Nephele comma or b) Nephele xylina. I slightly tend to Nephele comma (however, without strong arguments). Key issues would be the tiny white spot and the slim white stripe (at the edge of the margin) on the forewing.
