Hummingbird Moths, Sphinx Moths or Hawk MothsCamouflage Moth in Uganda…
Hi,
I’d sent this pic in a while ago, but hadn’t heard anything…just thought I’d try again! I found this moth in Jinja, Uganda. It was pretty close to the start of the Nile. I’ve paged through the moths on your site, and I didn’t see anything that looked like it (to me). I’d love to know what it is! Thanks,
Megan
Hi Megan,
We are sorry we never responded, but your original letter most likely is lost in the black hole that is our email inbox. This is an Oleander Hawkmoth, a species with a very wide distribution. The scientific name is Daphnis neri and it can be found on Wikipedia.
