Pellucid Hawk Moth

Cephonodes hylas

Description:

Quit large dusty yellow green bug with a red band on his behind and a very mobile backside. It had fluffy duster like things attach to his behind. Never seen anything like it.

Habitat:

Garden in Phuket. About 10 minutes from the beach. Near Rubbertree fields.

Notes:

It was very noisy and moved its behind in a strange up and down way. My camera was not sufficient to get a very good shot of it. But still want to know what it is.
