Oleander hawk moth

Daphnis nerii

Description:

Its a wild moth, i havent handled a wild moth like this before, in previous spottings bee moths and common crow were newly emerged so it was easy to handle them. After all i realised its not much hard to handle moths like this. Its a grate feeling.. try this someday :)
