Elephant Hawk-moth

Thank you Angel for joining the mission. :)

Welcome to Project Noah!

thanks! that did help. now i get it.

Here's a wiki: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_...
then try a web search for butterfly vs. moth...

Thanks for the welcome! But I'm just curious on how to differentiate a moth from a butterfly. Some help please.

Welcome to PN, angel_ansh! The next recommended step is to edit/update this spotting by adding suggested ID and references, if you're satisfied with them.

thanks flybeasley for the ID.

Thanks everyone for the warm welcome. Yeah its alive when we took it, it flew when we put it under the sun minutes later. Guess they went there at night for the light. I post it here hoping that someone would tell me about this cause its my first time seeing something like this.

It looks like an Elephant Hawk-moth that has just come out of its cocon
