Are you sure Hortum? I still think pine. I checked in Collins guide.

S, yes, sure. Look at the scimitar shape to the forewing and the distinctive way the hind wing is under, but held above, the forewing.

Now I feel silly - The caption in the book was in a misleading place - I got the right picture and read the wrong label! Its a lovely little creature. The only ones I've been lucky enough to see have been the lime and the humming bird ones.
