Hi there!
I’ve just found your site and spent over an hour looking at pictures of bugs, fantastic and fascinating
stuff! Here’s the links to a couple of pictures I took of a moth – I think it’s a hawkmoth. I loved the colours, and I don’t think I’ve seen one that big before. I found it in my garden in Derbyshire, England. It stayed very still for the photos, didn’t mind me at all.
Cheers

Hi Anna,
We have the Hawk Moths or Sphinx Moths on three pages. Over the years, we have gotten several images of the Elephant Hawk Moth, Deilephila elpanor, but we haven’t received one in some time.
