Daphnis hypothous moorei
Moth with different shades of brown. Large about 4cm across.
I live near forests on a tropical island.
Very similar to the Daphnis Nerii but shades of brown not green and pink.
Updating is just editing your spotting and adding the names in the corresponding fields. You do not have to make a suggestion for your own spotting. If you know the ID you just add the names. If you agree on a already made ID by other people you klick on the numbers on the right side. If you "collected" 3 "+" the spotting is marked as identified and will not be shown in the unknown section. If you are not sure about a suggestion add some comment and/or ask questions for a discussion and leave the spotting "unknown".
Hi Bayucca, how do I update? I am wondering what the numbers are as well?
I forgot to thank Tony Pittaway. Please tell him I say thank you Bayucca.
Tony Pittaway, the Master of Sphinx Moths from London has confirmed: Daphnis hypothous moorei!
Thanks a lot, Tony, for your assistance! Always nice to get the help from the real experts!
Should be Daphnis sp., but I am not 100% sure about the exact species. For me it does not really looks like Daphnis placida.

Similar is also Daphnis hypothous, which I believe yours actually is. Vanuata is not really a paradise for lepidoptera searches...
I try to get a confirmation...
