Very nice spotting! I have added the scientific name for you! :)

Hi beachbum, lovely spot! Please can you add the scientific name (Hemaris thysbe) so that we can take this off of the "unknown" list. Because we have a global user base & sometimes many different common names for the same species, the system will continue to show a spotting as unidentified until the scientific name has been completed. Thanks!

Fantastic! Brilliant colour combination, and a great spotting of this moth. Thanks for sharing! You should add it to the Best Photo of 2011 mission. :)
