insect on flower
Thanks for the information dhobern - especially boldsystems is a great website i diddnt know yet.. I´ll try to identify it for some more days - if not im going to set it like you suggested..
Can't find the exact species, but several similar. This is not strictly a Clearwing (family Sesiidae) but a moth in the family Arctiidae, subfamily Ctenuchinae. It's somewhat similar to some of the species in the genus Ceryx (http://www.boldsystems.org/views/taxbrow...) or Amata (http://www.boldsystems.org/views/taxbrow...).
Beautiful shot of a fine Clearwing Moth! I'm sure someone will be able to nail this.
