Marumba dyras
Wingspan of this lovely moth was 6 cm (2.4 inches). After a few weeks away it was great to be 'welcomed back home' by this moth visitor. :-)
Hills overlooking Manila.

Thanks so much S Frazier! :-)

Well the genus looks promising. The range on that site was far north of the Philippines. Maybe M. amboinicus merits a look. (Not found on that website though).
Thanks Ceherzog!
Thanks S Frazier! Location now updated.
Is this Manila or England (map)?
Excellent photos
This looks like the hawk/ sphinx moth Marumba jankowskii... http://tpittaway.tripod.com/china/m_jan.... .... Anyone like to confirm this ID? Or disagree with it?
