Giant Silk MothsHawk Moth, but what kind?
Hi,
A friend of mine sent a picture of a moth from Durban, South Africa. She said it was a hawk moth, but do you know what type of hawk moth it is please?
Thanks,
JJ
Hi JJ,
This is not a Hawk Moth, it is a Giant Silkmoth. We identified it as Imbrasia wahlbergi on Kirby Wolfe’s spectacular Saturniidae site.
