found this one crossing road... it has a strange looking horn like outgrowth on its back. the spots look like eyes of different sizes.
Thank you Kibuyu for the wonderful information.
Now there are so many hawk moth species available in south India, i wonder which species this one belongs to...
Family Sphingidae (hawk moths) - most species have a single posterior 'horn' like this.
