8985 moth and phlox

I want, I want!! It's a Humming-bird hawk moth isn't it? Keep trying to encourage these.

I've rarely seen the larvae of this beautiful creature...they are also rather large and a beautiful turquoise blue. I saw some for sale in a pet shop as treats for pet lizards! So to save a life I bought it..and released it. perhaps that's why I have the moths. They are fascinating.
