Oleander Hawk Moth
Here is a photo of a moth I saw in Kihei, Maui, Hawaii in Feb this year. I’m guessing it is a Oleander Hawk Moth. Earlier today in Wailuku. Maui I saw what looked like a Stripe Morning Sphinyx, which got me searching and I found your site. Thanks for such a great collection of photos and information!

Hi Paul,
You are absolutely correct. This is indeed an Oleander Hawkmoth.
