Hummingbird Moths, Sphinx Moths or Hawk MothsIdentify
Hi,
Loved your site, very helpful. A month ago, a moth took its last flight straight to my front door entrance in Israel. I tried to identify it, but I’m not sure, is it Daphnis nerii? If yes, doesn’t it supposed to have purple spots instead of brown ones?
Thanks,
Hilla
Hi Hilla,
You are correct, this is an Oleander Hawkmoth. Sometimes there is individual color variation.
