Rolfe. Not sure but he could be some sort of Hawk Moth, seen some very similar last year. Sure someone will correct me when they've researched it. Cheers Rolfe. D.

J Darcy 5,871 Posted September 10, 2008 Report Share Posted September 10, 2008 Hard to tell from that pic. Can you please tell me if it was long like a twig. In the pic i cannot tell if it was "hooped" up a bit. If it is it may be a green form of something like a peppered moth..... Its not a hawk moth.....JD Quote Link to post Share on other sites
