Daphnis nerii
"The previously apple-green body had transformed to a dirty orange on the flanks and an olive-brown on the dorsum. A symmetrical pair of round, black patches had also appeared on the top of its first thoracic segment, just posterior to its head. The thick rings of its false eye spots had darkened to a black outline. The yellow of its posterior tail horn had now intensified to orange." SOURCE: Nature in Singapore

@ Alice, "But no worries! In my next life I am gorgeous!"
thanks Nuwan. Unfortunately that suggestion came a bit late, but I'll do it if I see another one.
Wcan't all be beautiful (:
you can put him in a container with little bit soil in it, if you interested in photograph the adult moth!
