aaah yes, looks much more like hawk. Thank you for advice, Ill be sure to search the scientific name next time!
Nope. Look at the following page:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hippotion_c...A quick way to check is to Google the scientific name. Mostly the wiki link is the first. On that same search page it usually shows a link with images as well where you can see other photos as well.
