Acosmeryx anceus
Length 4 cm (1.6 inches).
Hills overlooking Manila.
Thanks so much Gina!!! :-)
Ann I think you are looking for Acosmeryx anceus on this one.
No, sorry again... Now I think it could be a Virginia Creeper Sphinx moth (Darapsa myron)...Or even a Azalea Sphinx moth (Darapsa choerilus=pholus).Any moth experts out there? :-}
No, I think it's more likely to be this Hawk Moth: Acosmeryx castaneahttp://tpittaway.tripod.com/china/a_cas....
Or could it be an oleander hawk moth...?
Could it be a Small Elephant Hawk Moth...? Has the right colours, though not exactly the same pattern on wings...
